Anxiety is a future based fear, something that hasn't happened yet. I've always thought of my anxiety as a kind preparation so IF my fears ever come to reality it won't be so much of a shock. Recently I've been going back through my life looking at things that may have put me in danger of contracting the big C and i really want to stop! I've been worried about plastics of late which is stupid because they are literally everywhere but when i go on websites promoting a 'natural' life the things they talk about make my stomach drop. It's like 'oh no I've worn a pvc skirt once and it's going to give me cancer. I've just now thrown my phone protector in the bin coz i was worried it was made of a bad chemicals.
I make my own deodorant, nearly made myself aneamic by cutting out red meat and spend too much money on posh organic food. I'm sick of worrying about a possible future diagnosis. Im in fairly good condition I exercise, eat okish and drink only ocasionally. Im 31 and don't wont to waste the best years of my life worring about something i have no control over. I've had cbt which helped but as you know anxiety can pop up and say hello at any time. I'm fine today and i try to focus on that but i know it's back there somewhere and i wish it would dissapear.
