Yes you do....: ..have anxiety. Because if you didn't think you were imagining things & you feared a bat - related illness,you would go straight to a doc or nurse to rule out bat-borne illness.When a patient of mine thinks a physical concern is "all in their head", I ask them to see a doctor to rule out the illness they fear before treating it as a manifestation of anxiety. Then see a therapist to assess anxiety.
