Hi everyone. My name is Gemma and I'm 17, I realise you're all like me so maybe you won't judge me and think I'm crazy like a lot of people I know in person.
Basically I have been a massive hypochondriac for almost 3 years, I worry about literally every slightly abnormal bodily sensation there is. I realise that most of it is most likely related to my severe anxiety, but being someone so conscious about their health, I confuse these sensations with other things that could be worse. I have worried myself sick over so many health issues in the past that I look at now and think I was being stupid.
I apologize for how long this is going to be.
This is probably stupid as well but over the past couple of days I have noticed myself passing urine a lot more frequently, only sometimes I have had burning/pain. I have not been drinking a lot more fluids than I would have previously. I went to the doctors today and he did a dipstick urinalysis and said that there was no indication of any infection. A few weeks ago I had a UTI and I had trimethoprim antibiotics for 3 days to clear it which it did, I was given another set of antibiotics for some reason when I complained of some side pains (which I realise now were psychosomatic). These antibiotics were called 'Co-Amoxiclav' and gave me quite possibly the worst case of thrush ever. I couldn't walk and unfortunately it was on the night of a gig I was looking forward to for ages so I didn't enjoy it at all! I took a whole week off for that to go away with the aid of multiple Canesten products. THEN I started getting the 'Globus' sensation after this to the extent of not being able to breathe, I had a few panic attacks because of this and my dad took me to A&E at night time, we were there for hours. I had panicked myself to death over the fact I could have had thrush in my mouth that spread to my throat. I could tell the doctor thought I was stupid and he was extremely concerned about my mental health. (self harm, threatened suicidal attempts)
EVERY week this month I have had a different fear (no matter how mild) and I'm getting SO sick of having to deal with my irrational fears. It's getting to the point where I actually want to disappear. It's ruining everything for me (my relationships and stuff)
Do any of you have the urge to frequently urinate without any evidence of an infection of the urinary tract? It's really getting me down and worrying me sick. Is it a COMMON psychosomatic anxiety symptom? Please help, or tell me your experiences for reassurance.
