touey,

PA's make your body produce more stomach acid which is why you feel it is on fire. You can get meds to help with this, I take Omeprazole. Spontaneous Combustion is very very very very very very very very very rare. The odds of it happening to you are negligable, honest!
Hope you feel better soon

:) hey there touhey,

i hope you wont be upset by this, but your post made me smile and i had to reply, as this was also something i worried about back in the day when i didnt know exactly what anxiety was!! ihave stayed awake many a night too frightened to sleep coz of a headache or a fever!!! what a waste of time!!! imstill hereand living proof that you cant control what happens to you by worrying!!!

back to the combustion thing, when i was 17 i was at sixth formre-sitting my gcse's due to missing 6 months ofschool for panic attacks (again the worst thing to do as this is where i learnt to avoid!), and this guy i fancied was a bit of a punk type(im now married to his friend) so he would alwayshave a copy of viz and also these other weirdmags, some which had pics ofpeople who had combusted!!! well, that was it, i would go to bed some nightswith my legs on fire(probably as a result of pms,or eating too close to bed,either way just an innocent thing) and be convinced with those images inmy head that inthe morning i would just be a pile of ashes in my bed!!!

beleive me, this will NEVER happen to you!!! it probably isnt even proved that it occurs at all and those pics i saw were probably fakes. anyway even if it does exist, it WONT happen to you, so try to put it out of your mind and get on with your life:yesyes:

Hello touhey

My name is sammi and i'm 19, believe me i know exactly what you are going through when i was about 13 and more i was obsessed with spontaneous combustion, i saw something on the tv about it and i couldn't stop worrying. all i can say is that the on fire feeling is just anxiety. the more i grew up the less i thought about it - in fact i haven't thought about it for the last year
believe me the scariness goes away and the thought dies down.

you should ask my family how worried i was

and i think anyone can get panic at any age and since you've just done your gcse's the stress of school and stuff just adds to your worry.

i'm young and i;ve got panic aswell so your not alone and i'm always here to talk

sorry abou the essay
