Hi there - after a lengthy absence from the forum, during which I really thought I was getting back on track, I have suddenly gone through a spate of attacks.
Worse than those - because those I can understand and rationalise and manage - is the return of the health anxiety. I find I have been obsessing about my health again, and LOOKING for things to worry. Its ridiculous but I can't stop.
Yesterday I was in the doctors office in tears getting some moles checked (I have had a cancerous mole in the past, which causes me to be super paranoid). Doc said all was fine. So why don't I believe her?
I need help in managing my thoughts, because its become all consuming. And there I thought I'd come so far.
Help
