I'm in such a bad place with my health anxiety at the moment. My mental worries are turning into physical illnesses. I feel sick, tired, and you know when you have a horrible feeling of dread and sadness that you can't describe, like you can't even mentally think what it is you're feeling?
Everyday my brain finds a new health worry. Today my leg muscle has been twitching and I'm just totally pre occupied with that as well as a lump in my ear which is probably just a cyst but could be cancer because ... You know... :(
Sorry I didn't know where to post this I just felt like letting it out because I'm in such a bad place mentally. I finally booked a doctors appointment as I just never go (haven't been in 2 years). I don't know where to begin as I've never described my health anxiety to anyone before except here and to my boyfriend. I'm worried he will not think its a big deal or something. But it really does affect my life and I'm seriously worried I'm beginning to have a breakdown and my mind can't cope with this constant stress anymore.
If anyone can relate and has tips or advice or how I can put it across to my doctor in a way that will make him understand how bad it is for me without sounding so over the top I would massively appreciate it.
I hate health anxiety :'(
