Hi guys I'm new to this site
Over recent years my health anxiety has gone sky high and live each day thinking I have cancer or are going to catch it which stems from losing some family members in recent years
I'm 30 and happily married with a gorgeous daughter and another one on the way. Over the past 6 months I thought I had a brain tumour which I had scanned and was clear had blood tests which were all fine
So when I got the all clear I was buzzing and really happy and I through that period I was undertaking cbt sessions but didn't really know whether they were helping
At the moment I seem to be getting pains in my lower stomach and urinating frequently and now loose stools and I'm petrified its something serious and of course it's pure worry
I feel like I constantly need reassurance from family members but I'm sure they see me as the boy that cries wolf
I have so many anxiety symptoms so why can't I accept it as anxiety instead of thinking that its cancer
I'm a fit young man that works manually and am a keen sports man so fircexpke I played football yesterday and felt fit as a daisy but as soon as I'm off the field I get all the ache and pains
It's so frustrating and worried constantly I thought I was managing my anxiety better but it seems that I've slipped back in to the bad old days:D

Can anxiety really give you all these symptoms
Because googling has done me no favours only worry and panic attacks
Feel so scared at the mo!!!!
