Hi
Please help me - I'm totally new to No More Panic but I'm really struggling. I not only suffer from health anxiety about my own health but also about my children. It's awful - every time one of them is poorly im totally preoccupied with thinking it could be serious like meningitis or cancer. I try to hide my worries from them as I don't want them to end up a terrible worrier like me. My 7 year old daughter has been complaining of a headache at the back of her head/top of her neck and occasional nausea on and off over the last couple of weeks. It's driving me crazy as I've convinced myself she has a brain tumour. We've been on holiday so I haven't made my usual mad dash to the doctors but really want to now we're home. Why do I have to presume the worst . It's exhausting. What do these symptoms mean in a child? Please help if you can. Thank you
