This is kinda a long story, I do apologize for it in advance. If someone, anyone can offer some advice or help on this matter, it would mean the world. I've tried talking with people and they keep saying "Oh, it's just your head messing with you". It very well may be, but not having anyone to talk to about this isn't helping my issue. Anyways, I do have pretty bad health anxiety. Any little thing that happens to my body freaks me out, like what's happening right now. Here's the story.
This randomly started happening Wednesday, the day before thanksgiving. I became really hungry and weak, so I ate. I was still feeling pretty hungry and weak, so I ate some more. It didn't last long and I became weak and hungry again and it's been ongoing ever since. I'm worried it's diabetes or worse. I was on my period that Wednesday when it happened, and I know it can cause increased hunger, but I've never felt it to this extreme before. Idk if my mind is just focusing on it or if something is actually wrong with me. But anyways, my period ended two days after Wednesday and I'm still having this issue and I don't understand why. I do eat, I'm not starving myself, even though it sure feels like it. I did notice my period came a little earlier then usual, but I'm not sure if this is even related anymore. I did text my doctor explaining this issue and he said it was normal, even though I don't feel like it is. I've texted him again telling him it hasn't gotten any better, so I'm waiting on him to reply. But I'm really freaking out because of how this is making me feel. I'm super hungry, it's making me feel weak and very tired. I have 0 energy because of it. I'm worried about passing out or worse. It's a hunger that's so strong that it makes me feel nauseous after a while to where I don't want to eat even though I feel like I should....even though I just ate not too long ago. It's confusing and scary and no one has offered any good advice on this matter. I've been to reddit, an anxiety discord, asking people online and no one has said anything to make me feel any better about this. I did the worse possible thing and googled this feeling, and of course, it says diabetes or thyroid problems. I had my blood tested back in June and everything came back normal, so I'm not sure if those two things can just all the sudden happen. This feeling only started the day before thanksgiving. I'm just so confused and I feel like crap. I'm worried I'm going to stay feeling this way for the rest of my life or something. I don't know if this is just my mind making it worse, or if something is actually wrong. If anyone has had this issue before, please share your experience with me or offer some helpful advice, comforting words, anything! Sorry this was so long, thank in advance!
