Ep 6: Anxiety Made Me Afraid of My Own Body 💜

Anxiety didn’t just hijack my thoughts — it turned my own body into something I feared. In this raw episode, I talk about health anxiety, constant body scanning, losing trust in every flutter and ache, and the grief that comes when your skin no longer feels like home. No toxic positivity, just honest late-night truth and the small ways I’m trying to make peace with my body again.If you’ve ever been afraid of your own heartbeat, this one’s for you. 💜Episode 6: Anxiety Made Me Afraid of My Own BodyTimestamps:00:00 – Cold Open01:45 – Trigger Warning & Intro04:20 – When your body becomes the enemy12:10 – The shame no one talks about18:45 – How it steals joy from everyday things25:30 – Tiny ways I’m making peace (imperfectly)32:15 – Closing thoughtsResources:Gentle reminder: If health anxiety is intense, a compassionate doctor + therapist combo can help hold this.Keywords: health anxiety, body betrayal, fear of sensations, hyperawareness, making peace with your body, anxiety momsterShow Notes (for anxietymomster.org)
