Has anyone else developed health anxiety? I want to attribute my health anxiety to my ulcerative colitis, but some of the stuff i’m irrationally anxious about like checking any body symptom to see if it’s cancer or something has nothing to do with my UC symptoms. I’ve had really bad UC since I was 12 (i’m 23 now) and I have the most debilitating health anxiety that turns me down a spiral any time I have a weird bodily symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this type of health anxiety, and can it be associated with an autoimmune diagnosis like UC?
