Hi Tee!

You read my mind. I was just wondering how your health was. I’m sorry to hear that you are still experiencing back pain, but I’m glad that you are getting better at managing it. Well done on conquering your health anxiety and good luck with figuring out the psychological impacts on your health.

I’ve also dealt with my own health anxiety in the past. It is quite scary getting to grips with these things. With my own health I’ve learned that there are a ton of different factors that influence pain sensitivity. I found it affirming to learn that very physical physiological changes occur in the body due to stress. The mind body connection is very unique! It doesn’t help that stress is an inherent part of life. It would be nice to just magic away sometimes. Unfortunately, there is only so much we have control over.

Wishing you all the best! 🙏
