Hello, i am a new member here but have been looking around the forums as a guest for quite a long time.
For the past year and a half i have suffered from severe health anxiety, to the point where any pain/ache/symptom with my body could be a serious illness.
The reason for joining today (finally), i am a smoker and was having a cigarette outside of my house and noticed while spitting there was some blood within it or what looked like blood anyway, was small amounts of red/orange.
With having health anxiety, this instantly scared the hell out of me and brought on a small panic attack. It only lasted maybe a minute and then my spit was clear and has been since but im still shaking with fear and worry of what it could have been as it's not really happened before.
Side note: I was eating beans earlier before it and then went for a nap and the colour kind of resembled that of bean juice but seems odd to have that in my saliva hours after eating it (my mind wants to believe it was that i suppose).
Not really sure why i am posting to be honest, i don't really have a question, just really tired of living like this and need someone (people) to talk to who also suffer from anxiety problems.
Anyway, hope you are well and sorry if posting in the wrong forums (newbie here)
