so, basically I've decided to try coming to a forum such as here to see if this helps with my anxiety. I suffer from OCD and health anxiety, and it's tearing my family apart.
I am always convincing myself that I have a terminal illness, and just typing it feels scary and I get all scared and panicky and withdrawn and mum doesn't understand and it upsets my little sister but I just can't help it.
I went to the doctors 3 times last week, and now she's phoned my mum and said that she wants to send be back to the clinic and now mum's like "jsbfsdb what is going on with you?!"
I just wanted to see if there was anyone on here who I could talk to who maybe understands where I'm coming from when I say that this anxiety is out of control. I can't sleep, I've lost my appetite and my tummy's gone weird and the doctor told me its IBS which can be brought on by stress and anxiety. But all these things make me think I have something WORSE and even though I think I know deep deep down that I'm ok, I'm always scared that I'm not.
so, yeah. That's me. :unsure:
