when my brain thinks i'm dying (but i'm not)😑

Ever catch yourself "borrowing" other people's health problems? After hearing about an acquaintance's heart attack, my anxiety convinced me I was next—despite my recent clean bill of health. The symptoms felt so real: chest tightness (hello, anxiety + bad back), heartburn (too much dairy), ear fullness (from traveling). But logically? My doctors say I'm fine. This medical anxiety creates a vicious cycle where normal sensations transform into "proof" something's terribly wrong. What strategies help you break these health worry cycles? #healthanxiety #anxietyawareness #mindfulness #supportcircle
