I’ve lived with Health Anxiety for over 30 years. For a long time, I thought my constant worry was just part of being alive. It wasn’t until my late 30s that I finally realised what I was experiencing had a name — Health Anxiety. Through learning about it, making lifestyle changes, finding effective coping strategies, and getting the right support, I’ve learned how to manage it. A key turning point came when I thought, “I don’t have to live in a constant state of worry — there must be something I can do about this.” That moment marked the start of my recovery journey, and now I feel ready to create a safe space where others can share their own experiences with Health Anxiety - see my listing below for details of our meeting, and the MyHAPS website to read more of my story."
