[crazymum25]

Ok I no I have a cold .... A Bad one sneezing etc ... But I read the paper about a girl who died of a blood clot healthy woman only 21 years old I now am thinking the worse how do I actually get over this and think logically . I hate this feeling I now have sweaty feet going hot n cold !!!! I just want too live my life ! Any relaxing tips !!!

[feelthelove]

for a start stop reading about people who have died of diseases if you see something like that skip it , what we read has an effect on our minds so just don't read them.

The way i try to relax is listening to my favourite music or watchinc comedies and laughter is good medicine .

Hi, Yesterday's post from you.


Ok people I log into Facebook what do I see ??? Brain anarazyim a poor young girl at age 22 died in her sleep from one after her graduation no symptoms just a slight headache due from stress so she thought !! So yeah you guessed it in scared under the weather myself lately and tired now I have a headache !!

Firstly as you already know these occurrences are extremely rare, and what most fail to report is that there would have been some underlying illness that the person was unaware of. (A person who doesn't go to the doctors) most probably.

You're NOT that person, you've had tests, probably more than many. Try to think rationally. Out of all of the people(which isn't many) who have randomly died at a young age from either a blood clot or a brain aneurysm, how many of them do you think were googling there symptoms and asking on a message board about blood clots/aneurysms?

I'd go as far as saying none. You have a cold, the most common ailment. It may be a bad one, stress does not help. Try to concentrate on HELPING your body your immune system, as that is your protection.
Lots of water, good healthy food, enough sleep and relaxation techniques.

I'm trying but I haven't been doctors for a few days and certainly not since this cold come on ... My ears head hurt pain in my leg shooting pain in my bum cheek aching under eye sore ... And my nose keeps crackling .... Don't know why ... Finding it hard too think rationally

[crazymum25]

I'm drowning clearly and I don't see the light now !!!! So um facing it the fact that I'm just going too die and I'm just sitting in a dark room waiting now I'm scared but I can't run away !!

Try to calm down. You were very helpful to me yesterday so I would like to return the favour. I always find distraction the best tactic but if you cannot do that what about the camomile tea you suggested for me? Don't think I am being much help but thought I should say something. Sam's advice sounds good to me.

[Dazza123]

Crazymum, I can understand your situation. IT must be very tedious for you, thinking you are about to die every 5 seconds, so what you need to think about is, what can you do yourself to get yourself sorted out? Decide what help you think you need, and then get it. Go to the doctors and tell them you think you are going to die every day and you cannot live like this and demand that they help you immediately telling them you cannot take it anymore.

No one here can help you, they can offer sympathy and empathy, but thats it, and this isnt going to help you sadly.

Paul if I could tell you I would ... Its like I feel like its my turn .... All these symptoms etc .... Its ok you should go bed don't allow me too stress you out .... Have a good nights sleep x

[Lilac58]

I don't have health anxiety, but I've sat in a dark room full of fear enough times, so I hope you got through the night with at least some sleep.

Do you feel that the therapy is helping you? Was it arranged by your GP or were you referred to a psychiatrist who made your diagnosis? It sound as though you are being left without adequate support which is unacceptable.

It can be hard to stand up for ourselves when we are vulnerable, but you are worth it. Can you see you GP as soon as possible and stress that the treatment you are receiving so far is not good enough. There are clear guidelines to be followed for MH conditions .

Hope today has been a better day :)

[crazymum25]
