Hi All
Just joined but have been reading these boards for a while, just wanted to get some advice etc
I have always had anxiety problems, but had no health anxiety until 3 weeks ago, I was admitted to hosp. For 4 days with a chest infection, all ok now but when the doc told me what they were testing for my anxiety shot through the roof, because of weight loss I was tested for all sorts, clots and lymphoma were the 2 that freaked me out, I had xrays, ultrasounds and a ct scan, all ok and was sent home, I thought that would be it but the anxiety just got worse, for the last 2 weeks its been all consuming, seen the doc, upped my medication and have set up some cbt all good
was feelin a wee bit better on sat then I noticed small bits of blood afyer a bowel movement and now im convinced again its something serious
I know deep down its probably not, my diet, bowel movements and appatite go all over the shop when im anxious and what with the stress etc its not surprising if I had piles etc, but im now thinking what next?
My wife is fed up with me as I just go into my own wee world, im constantly checkin myself to the point its painfull, im just so frustrated and angry with it all, I cant and dont
want to think that this will continue with every wee ache/pain/symptom and tbh I thought posting it here might help, sorry for the long post :)
