Health Anxiety

by hieronymus_b0sch

The constant fear of stomach aches, back pain, sore muscles, colds and flu, headaches, bad coughs, weird sensations that you don't even understand. The constant fear of wrongly multiplying cells, of hair loss, of transplant, of cardiac arrest, of nausea, of organ failure, of words like lymph nodes, stage three, clogged arteries, terminal, irreparable damage, cancer. The constant deaths, in a thousand different ways, in a thousand different hospital beds, that consume you every day, make you sick in the head, sick, sick, sick. The constant Grim Reaper's  hand of health anxiety, forever on your shoulder.
