If you’ve found yourself here, I want to start by saying: I’m sorry.
Because if you're reading these words, chances are you’re living with health anxiety and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
When I think back to my darkest days trapped in fear, obsessing over every symptom, utterly convinced I was dying, it’s all a blur.
Not because I’ve forgotten the fear (I remember that vividly), but because health anxiety swallowed everything else. I was living in a private hell, consumed, distracted, and exhausted.
If that’s where you are now... I see you.
Since I started sharing my story online, there’s one kind of message I keep receiving:
"I don’t understand how you know exactly how I’m feeling."
"I’ve never been able to put this into words, until I read yours."
And I get it.
There’s something mind-bending about seeing the emotions you’ve buried or battled for years finally reflected back at you. It’s validating, but also overwhelming. It can crack something open.
It’s one thing to read “You are not alone.”
It’s another to feel it in your bones.
I don’t write relatable content because I have some kind of gift. I write it because I was you.
I know what it’s like to live in a body you don’t trust, to feel like any moment could be your last, to fall into compulsive Googling spirals and come out more terrified than before.
I know what it’s like to read forums until 3am, chasing answers that only deepen your fear.
I know the crushing cycle of relief and relapse.
Telling someone with health anxiety to "just relax" is like telling a toddler to take a nap after five packs of candy.
It doesn’t work because worrying has become the only thing that feels safe.
I’ve wanted to write this book for a long time.
In my first book, "Help! Why Am I So Anxious?!," I opened up about living with generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and yes, health anxiety too.
Then I wrote "Anxiety A to Z," a daily reference guide to help you stop Googling and start grounding.
But this book is different.
This one is all about my journey with health anxiety, from my teenage years to today.
It’s raw. It’s real. And I hope it helps you feel seen.
If you've never truly believed the words “You’re not alone,” I hope this book changes that.
I hope by the end, you’ll feel those words settle somewhere deep inside you.
"Once again, Tamryn has taken her personal experiences with Anxiety and created a book that validates the concerns of so many who are struggling. Held Hostage by Health Anxiety provides a sense of comfort and reassurance. It’s raw and real. Thank you again, Tamryn." - Jackie
