Hi, everyone,
I'm new to this forum, so sorry if I post this in the wrong part of the forum.
Anyway, some 3.5 years ago, just before my Unversity graduation, I had a short, but really ugly episode of anxiety. For some 3-4 weeks, I was generally anxious, but particularly about my health, having all kinds of phyisical symptoms and thinking I would soon die from some illness. Luckily, I seeked help and it was resolved quite quickly. During my recovery, I was advised to watch some comedy to relieve the stress, so I watched my favourite show. Since then, I've had many great and awful days, challenges and sadness, but I coped really well with it. Some two weeks ago, I just felt like watching the show again, and I really enjoyed it. However, a day or two later, I started having anxiety again. My work is really stressful right now, but nothing that should cause this level of reaction. And I'm starting to worry about my health again: recently I worried about having an aneurysm (because I had a headache), deep vein thrombosis and now appendicitis (because I had some light cramps in right abdomen, but no other symptoms whatsoever). I'm even worrying about my cats' health and well-being. Could it be that watching the show that I watched while having the first anxiety episode somehow triggered this response? I would hate that, because I love the show!
Many thanks to all!
