Hi,
I'm finding it hard to live with my Health Anxiety problem that developed 3 years ago when I was diagnosed with MS and then 4 days later my father suddenly died of a Heart Attack.
Since then I have been constantly down the doctors with every little ache and pain, imagining I have additional health concerns. In particular cancer (of any kind but predominently breast cancer) is a major worry where I constantly feel myself and check my body for irregularities.
The frustrating thing is, I am perfectly aware of how irrational my feelings are and I've had some counselling and told my GP I'm depressed about everything but nothing seems to help.
My main thing is that I beat the odds of having MS where only 1 in 1,000 people are likely to develop it, so why wouldn't I beat those odds again for another disease?
Can anyone offer me any ideas on how to break this mental cycle and what they have found successful?
Any help is gratefully appreciated!!
