Not him, but I'm 24 and have suffered with health anxiety pretty badly for the past few years. I do have many health issues like allergies, asthma, and a few other autoimmune things that aren't pressing or worsening. I abused DXM (cough medicine, never the kind containing added ingredients) at moderate doses 5 days a week for 5 different periods of 3 months within the span of 4 years when I was 17-21. Yeah, escapism, it was retarded, I know.

I get into such a spiral of thinking I screwed my brain up doing that, and then start wondering if my anxiety issues are possibly due to that damage. Did you actually participate in at risk behavior or talk to a doctor? I'm scared to consult mine both because they will know I was such an idiot, but also they will likely brush it off as though it were nothing and I would have more obvious effects if it did me harm.

I don't know what to do. I read piracetam or something can help reverse supposed olneys lesions or brain damage, but I'm worried that could make the anxiety worse. I workout every day and eat healthy, and get 8 hours of sleep per night.
