Hi,
I am quite a confident person on the outside or so I am told, yet I worry terribly about health.
As soon as my daughters say they feel ill etc. I panic big time. My stomach turns over and I usually have to run to the toilet. I watch them like a hawk and check them constantly.
I am the same with myself. I have had a funny head for the past 4 weeks which of course makes you think the worse. I have seen the doctor 3 times and had blood tests, eyes ears etc. checked. They have all come back clear (except for slight inflamation of the sinuses which I have steroid nasel spray for) yet I find myself questioning their judgement as the headache won't go away.
I feel dizzy, hot/cold, shacky and faint which I think all indicates anxiety. I don't want to go to bed at night as I usually wake up.
The feeling of not being in control is frightening and the thought of fainting in public is worrying me, I question going out especially in the evenings.
I had similar symtons at the begining of the year and when to see a cousellor who was great but I didn't feel we were getting anywhere so only when 4 times. (the appointment took ages to come through and I felt so much better before I went).
I think I am in a vicious circle. The more anxious I feel, the more I worry about the anxiety. The more I worry, the more anxious I feel.
I need someone to break the circle.
