I first posted here in around October last year. I was having a massive HA episode and ended up on beta-blockers for the palpitations/racing heart. I was supposed to go back to my GP after a week on the beta-blockers for an assessment/to be put back on Sertraline that I had been on before for depression. Basically, I never went back. I temporarily felt better but since christmas, I have been feeling anxious again.
I've convinced myself that I have brain tumours, bowel cancer, liver failure... I am driving myself insane. I know I should go back to my GP for the Sertraline but I have managed to give myself a fear of the doctor's surgery, which is not helpful!
I am also making myself feel ill (like in October) and convincing myself that what are probably anxiety symptoms (nausea, loss of appetite, loose stools, feeling unreal) are really symptoms of a deadly disease. Honestly, I would laugh if this were a close friend. It's like a black joke.
Just wanted to get it off my chest really :)
