Hello everyone!

My son will be 2 in February. The first few months after him being born, I had pretty gnarly anxiety and depression. As he got older, it started to fade. But recently in March of this year when COVID hit, my anxiety has come back but this time- it’s full blown HEALTH ANXIETY.

I literally overthink every single symptom, I literally think I have the most deadly diseases. I avoid doctors because I’m fearful they’ll tell me I only have weeks to live. I’ve tried therapy, it didn’t really do anything. I’m still breastfeeding my son, and I’m wondering if that has anything to do with how effed up I feel in the head.

Can anyone give any insight? Has anyone else struggled with health anxiety? It’s the only thing on my mind all of the time and it’s ruining relationships around me & even starting to affect my job. I’m so tired of feeling this way.
