You've been convinced before and you're still here :D Once you get into therapy (you said you were being referred over a year ago... why hasn't that happened?) you should start to feel some improvement in your moods and thoughts. It goes without saying that staying off Google would be beneficial to your psyche.

Positive thoughts

It's really one of the most ridiculous things to worry about (I know, I've been there) because if you did die in your sleep, you wouldn't even know it. You need to try and let go and just live life. If something like that were to happen (IT WON'T), there would be nothing you could do to stop it, so why waste time worrying about it?

The chances of dying in your sleep after being checked out is basically 0. You may aswell worry about getting hit by lightning twice at the same time. It's not going to happen.

We all need to drill into our heads that anxiety is the problem, not our health. The people you hear about dropping dead are people with underlying conditions that never had any symptoms so never got checked out. You have been checked out.

As I said, I've been in your position before and it's WAY easier to give advice than to take it, but I hope for your sake you try and listen.
