This is my first post on a forum like this but believe me when I say it's long overdue. I suffer from anxiety, ocd, health anxiety. The slightest twinge I jump conclusions to the worst case scenario and google illnesses, manifest symptoms of that particular illness and then basically worry myself sick awaiting the inevitable pending doom.
My poor mother is worn out with my constant range of symptoms. My husband has stopped listening and I'm absolutely shattered from the worry of it all.
In the past my fears have included HIV, asbestos, DVT to name a few. These actually take over my life when they im in full worry mode
At the moment. My fear is of ectopic pregnancy. I took a preg test last week and it was negative. The only reason I took it was because I had one day of red spotting and I feared this was implantation. My husband and I use condoms so I didn't fear I had really put myself in danger of pregnancy and I have pcos and only ever get a period when my body feels like it. The negative result eased my mind and I got on with life.
Now 8 days later I have mild cramps that come and go, bloating, wind, soft stool and I'm worried sick.
I'm trying my best to reassure myself that I've been through a lot lately and I'm just stressed and I need to chill out but then I think this could be a life or death situation and I'm being far too laid back about it.
Any help would be great! Thank you in advance
