🤯  How many times have you self diagnosed yourself with a serious illness or condition that turned out to be nothing? 

🎙️ In this podcast we discuss just that. 

🙈 The time Ruth F thought she has bladder cancer which turned out to be a UTI. Or the time she convinced herself she had Appendicitis when in actual fact she had bad sunburn! - Don’t Ask!

🙈 Ruth W tells a hilarious story that you do not want to miss, one that involves a party, her current boyfriend, who she had only been dating for a few months at the time, a painful bottom, and a photo sent to a friend.

🏼 Deep down we know how scary the thoughts and feelings are at the time when our body goes into fight or flight mode. And that feeling is very much real,  and although 99.9% of the time it is nothing no-one can convince us otherwise. 

💜 A very open discussion about illnesses we self-diagnosed that turned out to be nothing. You'll end up belly-laughing, we guarantee it! So, if your face hurts from smiling or your sides hurt from laughing, don't worry about it!

💭 Asking someone you live with “what is the worst anxiety attack that I’ve had” and their answer is “where do I start” can be quite a wake up call! 

🏼 There are so many elements that feed into our Health Anxiety! In this episode we talk how going on holiday, body dysmorphia, social media and even a call to the GP can feed into the daily struggle. We speak about how as a coping mechanism we are pushed into the OCD cycle of checking our body for lumps, and excessive googling. 

💜 However!! There is hope! We both have different stories and we have different ways that we cope with this daily cycle of anxiety and fear. 

🎙Tune in and find out our coping strategies which include: daily meditation, researching books, podcasts and apps that can help us through the worst of the worst anxiety attacks.
