Does anyone else suffer from persistent negative thoughts??
Had a clear result on my blood tests today, no sign of any inflammation (doc thought I might have polymyalgia rheumatica) but thinks the aches and pain in joints are cos of being on my feet all day in my new job. Such a relief to get this result, I was delighted and felt life was worth living again and took the dog for a lovely spring walk. When I returned to the car I took a couple of swigs of water from the plastic spring water bottle in the car that I had filled earlier. Then immediately regretted it as now think I have given myself breast cancer!! This is because my mind is remembering all the issues surrounding drinking out of plastic bottles left in cars. It wasn't even warm as although the sun was shining intermittently, it was not a boiling hot day today and I only left the bottle about an hour, it even felt cool to the touch. Despite my rationing with myself, I cannot get this thought out of my head. Please help me - how do I convince myself not to worry??
