Hi Everybody,
I've not been on here for a while, but a particularly bad episode of Health Anxiety has me visiting again for any help or support you can offer.
I have been a sufferer for nearly 15yrs, and over that time i have learnt to live with most of the unpleasant symptoms that come with this illness; but recently we have had a couple of worry filled months concerning my Son's health! ( Thankfully everything is fine ) but it has completely tipped me over the Edge, probably the worst ive ever been, Sweats, clammy Hands, Dry Mouth, Dont eat, cant focus on anything, wake at night and cant get back to sleep as i lay in the dark worrying myself sick; i end up getting up to put the t.v on just to try and distract myself. These are a few of many.
Thought i was making some progress, when i found a small mole/Skin Tag on my side, near where your bra would sit it was red and sore; of course i poked and prodded since 4am this morning and by the time my husband got up i was in a complete state thinking the worst and pacing the floor. To cut a long story short i went to see the nurse who said she couldnt see anything to be concerned about and was pretty sure it had just been irritated by something! ie my bra strap, to leave well alone and it should be fine; if not go back to the dr's. Now any normal person would be releaved and happy but i just find myself worrying about if it doesnt get bettter, and im desperately trying not to prod as ive made myself so sore around that area already.
I hope yr all still awake...lol. My poor Husband doesnt know what to do with me and he is desperate for me to get myself some sort of help, or as he says i will end up making myself ill.
Would appreciate anyone coming forward for a chat and reassurance, and if anyone knows of any Counselling you can get for this particular illness, or infact any information on how people have been helped or what is out there in the way of help or treatment. I so badly need to get this sorted, life is hell at the mo.
Thanks so much to who ever has taken the time to read this, hopefully i will hear from someone soon.
