I swear, anytime I ever get a stomach bug or something that leads to me lying in bed nauseous as hell, I have a worry in the back of my mind that this is what life is like now, that I’m gonna feel like this forever.
not once have i thought that
but now I might, so thanks for sharing your ludicrous anxieties you muppet
I had a series of panic attacks at the age of 19, and even after they passed, for roughly a year I was crippled by high levels of ambient anxiety, which specifically manifested as hypochondria, due to which I made some incredibly poor choices.
only if its really bad
or that i "forget" whats its like to be "normal" if i have a really bad flu or sumn
Yes @op I know exactly what you are talking about fr

This happened to me very young, like age 8-9, and only in the past year or two have I really been able to get a handle on it
No i haven’t, unless it was an issue that could literally do that. but I always kick myself for taking for granted what not being sick feels like! Everybody should appreciate swallowing with no pain and breathing through their nose and eating good for a minute!!

Thankfully I haven’t had a panic attack since, and while I’m definitely on the upper end of the neuroticism spectrum, I don’t think this kind of general background anxiety has a major effect on me anymore (but it took several years of a very gradual decline in anxiety to get to this point, and of course in some contexts I have high anxiety)

Glad to hear things are improving. Life is all about changing. Becoming not being
