I think its all anxiety but well wanted to post to see what others might think and what they have experienced.. God I hate fear...i hate worry and wish I could give it all up.. I read overcoming fear..it sinks in for a bit then disappears..wish i could be obsessed about it as much as i am the fear.I talked with a friend this morning that had anxiety after her daughter was killed.she no longer fears death..and get this.. she has a doctor phobia too and was a nurse for over 30 years.. so just for the record wanted to jot this here so that you all know that you aren't alone.. and if you have some of the above issues and you can tell me yes i experience them too.. please do..I suspect they are but well what can i say.. Its the anxiety writing..

Hi,

I have most of the above [Sigh...] and have had on and off for some time now. In fact its a bit scary looking at that list and realising in print how much anxiety CAN affect us.

But I do get them and I keep on living, so I cling to the fact that although they are realy awful symtoms, they wont kill me :D Or so I keep telling myself, the health anxiety fights me tooth and nail. Fear is what fuels my anxiety, and I know I have to overcome it to gain some semblance of normality (whatever that is?). All I can offer in advice is what I say to myself all the time 'don't give up!'

So have faith in the fact your not alone. Im sure other posts will tell you the same.

Keep smiling :D

It's all normal parts of anxiety and or depression, the doc tells me they are bedfellows. Every pain is a heart attack or blood clot or cancer or anything you just read about in the papers or saw on the tv. I used to take my mobile phone to the toilet with me at work and only lock the door bolt so it just engaged in case anyone needed to get to me quick it would open with a shove. I knew it was stupid but couldn't help the feelings! I'm better now after /during treatment, it is possible to relieve and get over these terrible symptoms
