Hello again :-)
Today has been an alright day in terms of my anxiety- I'm still worrying over my neck pain and the idea of breast cancer and also my constantly feeling weak and tired, but this evening a couple of things happened: firstly, I think I'm getting a cold and I've developed this irritating cough, and just now I noticed I have this itchy line/scratch on the back of my leg. Both of these are things that to most people, even on here, wouldn't be enough to worry about, but I've already started thinking that JUST because of my cough I could have legionnaires or TB or something ridiculous and that my leg must be because of some kind of serious bite or something (I would say that's ridiculous as well but I'm actually kind of concerned that it might be. Even though I live in England loooool)- anyway, I was thinking because of this about how I get nervous over EVERY SINGLE little thing that happens to me. If I get a headache, I panic. If I get a muscle twitch I panic. If literally anything happens in my body, I freak out. Does my HA make it worse? Because I get a lot of worries over my health because of things my body does- like, at least five a day. That seems like a lot more 'problems' than I should have, and I was wondering if maybe they're not really there, or whether I only notice them because I'm constantly looking for them.
How do I stop this? It's getting to the point where it's becoming stupid. Does anyone else feel like this?
