Worry about Worrying

does anyone worry about worrying. Lately I have been worried about every little pain or ache I get....I hate it. Because when I started this program i started because I had a panic attack and couldnt figure out why I had one so i was determined to figure out why. My whole life I have never suffered from a panic attack or have never had anixety as I did last year but the program hleped me understand what they were and how to handle them....which I havent had one since. But after i went through all that, as well as not getting a good night sleep until I figured out its all in your head, I am now obsessing over every little ache and pain. I never used to be like this.....now my sister on the other hand would worry about every little thing...me never...until now.....I dont get it....one minute I'm good from panic attacks and now Im worried about my health and i am having sleep issues again....Why....
It stems from the fear of loss of control. It also serves as a great distractor when you're experiencing a stressful episode in your life. Even though it seems like torture when in the middle of this, it successfully distracts you from your real fears. I would sit down and try and list ALL the things that may be subconsciously worrying you.
Looking back now I have to laugh. What a hoot...
