Hey friends of NoMorePanic. I am a long time reader, infrequent poster... but I could really use some support today... and it is for a stupid reason.
I have always been worried about big things... (cancer, HIV, dying, etc.) however little things tend to set me off into full-blown panic mode relating to the big things... for example... I am worried to death right now because my mom, step-father, and wife have a cold. I am convinced I am going to catch this cold and because I have a weakened immune system (a worry of mine), it is going to turn into pneumonia or something worse and I will not survive. I cannot accept the fact that people get colds... I am always convinced that the only reason someone gets a cold is there is something else wrong with them. I know this is crazy... but as I have said before... my heart believes that I am fine... my head cannot.
So, I am sitting here at work with a minor headache (and NO OTHER SYMPTOMS) making myself sick to death with worry. I could just really use a message of reassurance that I am not the only one who goes through this kind of delimma.
Well... thanks so much for your care and concern. Happy Holidays to all.
