Hi lm a newbie. Im going through a particularly tough time. Ive had anxiety in many forms for many years, resulting (l believe) from another chronic illness lve had since l was a teenager. Anyway right now l feel like lm going insane and have no where to turn.
Ive recently changed tablets and it seems to have sent my health anxiety into overdrive.
Tonight l am panicing because l have constipation, probably because lve been so stressed (lve had IBS for years). Anyway previously lve had blood, but lve never had it checked, although l did talk to the pharmacist. Im trying hard not to obsess, as yesterday l got into a right state because l thought l had a lump in my throat. It makes me feel so stupid, l dont know how to take control. Ive done CBT, but in a panic lm so sure that l am seriously ill l just dont seem to be able to use it.
I asked the doctor to refer me for more help... so fingers crossed l dont have to wait too long. I just dont think anyone takes it seriously, yet right now its ruining my life! Just not sure how much more of it l can cope with, l will.... because l have no other choice.
I hope in using this site l can start to understand that lm not alone.
