About 2 months ago I took some drugs and had a panic attack. It scared the hell out of me and put me off them for life. For the last 2 months I have developed terrible health anxiety, I've had over 14 ecgs and all sorts of blood test and x rays of chest etc. I'm 20 years old and I'm fit. I got the tests done and were all fine. Why is this I keep feeling so shit? Cause of my head thinking about irrational fears. A great quote I saw "once the doctor tells you you're fine you just have to believe them, anxiety will however make that impossible" - this might be true but we can beat this anxiety. The first way to beat it is
To take a "**** it" approach, whatever will
Be will be and so long as a professional health care specialist gives you the all clear, go out and live your life as fruitful as you can, you only have one. Why fill it with worry? One day we may actually contract an illness and well have spent all these years of our lives in misery. Do the breathing exercises, and the best convincing you can do to yourself is to eat well, excercise regularly and stick a big finger up to anxiety whenever you can. Don't let it get you down, I've wasted the last 2 months of my life and I don't want to anymore.
