Anybody can help with this?
We all have health anxiety and fear some awful disease, condition or outcome.
Why shouldn't I get a heart attack/brain aneurysm even though I am young, physically fit etc.? (There are cases where apparently young and healthy people are affected albeit these are very rare but WHY SHOULDN'T IT HAPPEN TO ME IF IT HAS HAPPENED TO SOME OTHER POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL)
The same "Why shouldn't rationale" applies to early-onset dementia, younger cases of motor neuron disease, cancer etc. etc.
As much as we can reassure each other here that it's unlikely our symptoms are a constant reminder that it is possible and while something is possible how can we remove the extreme fear and anxiety from our minds. Why shouldn't it be us?
How have any of you overcome this dilemma?
