Hi,
So basically around 3 months now , I've had anxiety. Around Christmas I had derealization, I think brought on by health anxiety and exam stress, for example I was examining my urine thinking I saw white bits in it. Of course I googled it and it came up with kidney failure causing me to panic and believe I had something wrong with me. I went to the doctors and had a urine test and I was fine and thinking about it now I think it was silly and I know that I over exaggerated.doctor over nothing. So why do I still think I have illnesses and I'm going mentally insane??
I feel like when I overcome one 'problem' I look for another and panic over that, it's like I cannot stop it. Is this because of the anxiety? I want to know how I can make this stop so I don't have to live with this thought hanging over me that I am crazy.
Like 1 week ago I noticed a scab on my foot that hadn't healed and I immediately thought I had diabetes but now I can look back and think rationally about it. So now that I have noticed that I have no more physical worries that I can focus on , I've gone back to thinking I am mentally insane because of these recurring worries!! It's like I believe it and think of the worst case scenario like it will get worse and ill be put in a mental hospital or something. I'm trying not to Google anything else but I seem to just go over my feelings and thoughts in my head to find an answer to why I am doing this?! Which reminds me and makes me panic more.It's so annoying but in school I am fine and hardly think about any of this. And I don't think about it all of the time, I can have a laugh and be positive still but when I remind myself that i have been feeling this way for like 3 months, it makes me worry again. It's like my anxieties are making me anxious?! So I just want to know how to make this continuous circle of worry stop! Please reply
Ps I'm a 16 year old girl, on no meds and I haven't been to therapy. Also I was diagnosed with ITP( low platelets) last June which I think was a trigger. And I freak out easily so please reply nicely!!
Thanks :)
