Annoying anxiety..

[ju5t1n917]

Well, this is long overdo and i need big help with it.... I always think something is wrong with me, the littliest bump, bruise, ache... i will turn it into worst case scenario... i dont really know how to deal with this, i didnt use to be like this until one morning i had my first panic attack and ever since then iv been frightened of dying.. like right now i got a sore throat and i have been having trouble with my eye and this little cyst under my ear.. so im thinking "well what if i have cancer and they just havent noticed it andim about to get sick and die" ... i have had 3-4 ct scans, everypiece of bloodwork, xrays, everything.. everything came back good... i dont understand this, why do i worry so much?

Hi you are definitely not on your own, there are so many of us exactly the same. It is a vicious circle, the nore you worry the worse your symptoms get, the worse you get the more you worry. The answer is to 'let go' but that is very hard. Try and relax, accept that anxiety can do all sorts to your body and just say, it's anxiety, that's all it is i'm not going to let it bother me and then focus on somethng else. i'm telling myself this too as I've had a bad week after a good one, but I don't want another bad one so i ave to do this too. just take comfort in the fact that it is quite common and you can recover and not stay like this forever. In fact, you've had a really good medical, just look at that positively. perhaps, write down the truths that were told you by the drs and then when the lies come into your thoughts read back the truth.

Take care
