| Re: it may not always be from anxiety
I agree it is important not to ignore health concerns but I also have anxiety and have had to learn my body to recognize what is normal and what is concerning so that I don't end up with a cot in the waiting room!
It is indeed a tricky balance and I am thankful to have a wonderful doctor who I do feel comfortable calling when I have questions or concerns. I feel better calling and if I, in talking with her, feel it warrants a visit I go in. I do think people have to trust themselves and when their body is trying to tell them something but that is incredibly difficult with anxiety when everything feels bad or every symptom leads to thoughts of horrible disease--I've been there and am still working on it.
