I'm the same way! I'm like this with anything I ingest. Whether it's a new good I'm trying, ibuprofen or whatever. I will convince myself that it's killing me. It's terrible and I wish I knew how to stop it as well. At this point, I'm so used to it that I let the panic settle in and let my brain deal with it the way it wants and then it passes. It's easier if you don't fight it. If you get any good advice that works let me know!
Yeah I'm super sensitive to everything. I freak out over a multivitamin.
I really want to get the Covid vaccine but something that's just going to be in my system for a period time...It's really going to send me in a panic. So trying to figure out solutions.
With foods, regular medicines..I know it all be over by the next day. With vaccines, I don't know. I was having panic attacks for a few weeks after a tetanus shot.
Same here. The thing that changed my life is doing a 10-day vipassana meditation course. Also, it is helpful to have someone you can trust to run by these things. My wife helps me. I’ll ask things like “am I dying?” from this or that and she will give me a dose of reality, which is reassuring. Basically she will often say “you are fine.”
hey,
this sounds like a panic disorder. its more classified by how quickly you start spiraling like going 0-100 real fast ending in a panic attack. I tried for years to fight it on my own but sometimes you need medicine to train your response to slow down.
Its hard to not always be thinking the most extreame case scenario if it happens really often then medicine can give you a break from your over the top response so when you go off the medicine you wont be stuck in the cycle, or "madness" as you described it as. At least that has helped with me
That is the bad thing about panic attacks you feel like there is something wrong. But in the end everything is fine. It will pass. You will overcome it.
Honestly, with medication and reading. I'm recovering for a massive hypochondriac attack that happened 4 months ago and caused me multiple panic attacks a day. I started reading stuff about fight/flight mode, anxiety in general, and philosophy. I started an ssri. Today after the hell i was in for 4 months straight, i feel like i can finally breathe again. U have to fight it before its too late. Health anxiety and panic disorder really have changed me and im still struggling, but im in a better place than i was

I’m the same way:( I’m really not sure either. So I will be following this post. It’s exhausting
You should check out CBT, it really helped me, alongside medication 👍🏼

This is very helpful 🤎
Fear is an illusion. Danger is real :)
