You wake up in the morning and you feel ready to go, but as the day ticks along your worries start to show, "what's that feeling in my leg- oh god a DVT?", you tell another person and they think your just crazy,
At first you laugh it off and say "yeah I'm just dramatic," but really your getting anxious and beginning to feel sick!
You carry on the day ...."what's that, my chest is tight," the cycle starts agin, this anxiety is hard to fight!
You google on your phone and try to find the answer, but you only feel worse when your symptoms all mean cancer!
You ignore the world around you as your 'illness' is the focus, you cry and get upset hoping family will not notice!
Some people are supportive and show empathy towards you, others get frustrated as they haven't got a clue!
I've had tablets from the doctor and I've started CBT, but this is not a quick fix problem as the cure is down to me!
One day I hope my worries will be at the back of my head, as I'd love to live my life without constant fear and dread xxx
