I’m going through my third round of CBT (nearly at the end of it now) and have another therapist through a referral at work that rings every month and I went back on my anti depressants a few weeks ago. I’ve also started doing couch to 5k and I’m listening to health anxiety podcasts but nothing is working to control it.

The last couple of weeks alone I’ve diagnosed myself with breast cancer, skin cancer, lymphoma and Alzheimer’s. That’s not even including all the cancers I think my children have.

I just want these thoughts to stop. I know I have a problem with checking and googling and it’s keeping the anxiety going but it’s so hard to control. Every slight symptom that either me or my girls have and I’m in a state of panic. I don’t feel like anyone can help me and I don’t know what else I can do to help myself.
