Hi All.
Been around here for a few months now following a mental breakdown due to stress that morphed into Health Anxiety.
I've had enough now, how do I get it to stop? I literally can't stop googling, I know more about cancer and MND and everything than most doctors (not literally).
I have a few "symptoms" (pain in left hip, twitching calves, minor resting tremor and tiredness) all of which the doctors put down to Anxiety, I'm trying my best to believe them and I think i do, but i still can't stop googling and worrying. I'm a total burden to my Girlfriend who I love more than anything.
I tried Sertraline and although it improved my general mood, i couldn't stand the side effects so I stopped taking it.
I'm on the waiting list for CBT but got to wait at least another 2 months.
How do I train my mind to stop worrying, 90% of my time I'm thinking about illness and twinges and everything. Even when I'm relaxed, watching the match or a film.
I present that I'm normal at work and to my parents but inside it is utter turmoil and its causing the symptoms to increase and make me worry more.
Sorry I've rambled, but im F**KING sick of this now. Honestly think it would be easier if i just dissppeared. My partner, who is perfect, does not deserve this mess of a person I've become.
ARGH!
