I can’t believe how much anxiety is ruling my life. I cannot function properly and my attempts at controlling it are reigning some in but not much. In the last 6 months I have had so many worries and am currently in such a heightened state of worry that I am typing this to just make sure I keep from having a full in panic attack.
I have worried about:
Bowel cancer
Rectal cancer
Ovarian cancer
Womb cancer
Stomach cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Sinus cancer
Sepsis (many times)
Brain tumour
Lung cancer
Oesophageal cancer
Throat cancer
Skin cancer (many times)
Breast cancer
Amoeba infection
Literally I am going from one worry to another. I know I have posted like this before. And my other posts have similar comments. I have started new meds so this probably has raised my anxiety. I do the CBT exercises, distract myself yet I return constantly to the worry. It is like a background track that I can’t turn off. It gets louder and louder and affects my focus and I can’t eat or think of anything else. It is making me feel really unwell, physically and I know that it is not helping me or my family.
I can’t even focus for mindful breathing etc. I am so hyped up. How can I keep this down? So far what I am trying helps a little and I know I have to persist at it. I want to be more in control
