New to this but any help will be much appreciated
I suffer from chronic health anxiety ever since I had an unexpected home birth with my second daughter who's now 10 months old everyday every night I panic and can't get it out of my head I panic about myself, my partner, my kids, my parents pretty much everyone I'm close too. I freak out about dying scared I'm not going to wake up or pass out when its just me and the kids at home I can't go to the doctors as I'm scared they will find something wrong with me. In my head I have breast cancer, throat cancer, brain tumor, cervical cancer, heart problems, etc I self diagnose all the time and then I'm convince I have something seriously wrong with me.
I'm so unhappy disappointed that I've missed out on the first 10 months of my daughters life because I sit there and panic I'm only 23 I have a great life but these thoughts hold me back.
What should I be doing? Tried counselling didn't work called every health and depression phone lines. Should I be going to a hospital over anxiety? Or do I just let it go by itself?
Can annnyyy head me in the right direction pleeeeease :)
