This week for her Sunday poser question Sadje wants to know…

Do you suffer from health anxiety?

I would not say that I suffer from health anxiety. I mean, occasionally I do worry about getting some kind of serious health condition, or being diagnosed with a life threatening illness, but that is not often.

For the most part if I get symptoms, I will go to my GP right away, or as soon as I can get an appointment.

I figure I’m better off doing that, instead of worrying, as worrying just causes unnecessary stress.

And I don’t need to be more stressed than I am already.

My mental health causes me a lot of worry and stress, so I don’t want to add my physical health into the mix.

I do suffer from anxiety, so having anxiety about health on top of regular anxiety would not be a good thing.

If I can do things to make my life easier, and cause less distress, less worry, I’m going to do them.
