Re: So scared of dying I'm not living!
Hi Fi
Welcome along to NMP
The thing with health anxiety is we tend to 'over think' every little aspect of our body and mind. Something as common as a headache, we would automatically think brain tumour or hemorrhage and sometimes just wait on the inevitable happening.
Chances are it's NEVER going to happen but we still find ourselves checking for lumps and bumps, we panic at every twitch and pain and even go looking for things that aren't there to begin with but with such a phobia, we convince ourselves that the next time you check, that's when we are going to find 'IT'.
I used to have sever HA where i would do all of the above but i find now, mine only kicks in if i have a bug or a virus. So trust me, this can get better.
My advice would be to talk to your health visitor and GP for some support. Tell them how this is effecting your life on a daily basis.
No one is going to think you are silly or mad. You'd be surprised how common a problem this is. I promise you, this can and will get better but you must get some support and proper medial advice also because that will ease your mind so much.
We are here to support you so please don't worry.
