Can anyone help, I feel awful!! x

Hi All,

I am new to this website and i feel that from what i can see on here my symptoms are that similar to others suffering from terrible anxiety.

My story...


For a few months now I have been constantly worrying about pains all over my body and lumps and bumps, especially a pain i keep getting in my lower right abdomen. This isnt there all of the time.I have had blood tests,abdominal examinations and everything seems to be fine.Even though i have convinced myself i am dying of Bowel cancer??????!!!!!!!

I had an operation back in feb on my shoulder and whilst i had this done,i never had any worries about pain or anything like that until my shoulder started to get better i satred to wind myself up over this pain again.....

I was off work for amonth whith my shoulder and also in this time i was buying a brand new house........I have been low for a long time and think that everything has got on top of me..I have moved to my other halfs dads until our new house sale went through and this is when i have started to feel sick..wake up with acid type feeling in my tummt(this i have never had before) it really scared me........

Do you think that my continuos worry of dying has got on top of me and is making me feel like this :-(...Any feedback would be greatly appreciated..Thank you for taking time to read my post.

ur in the right place hun x

have u been to ur gp and discussed these fears and ur anxiety symptoms?

u sound like uve had alot going on both physically and mentally lately.

i feel sick, coughing and wretching when i sense impending doom, often quite irrationally.

i dont have health anxiety but worry about making mistakes with people.

hope this helps a little,

i have had help with cognitive behavioural therapy and antidepressants for anxiety disorder, but still have ups and downs.

this site is a wonderful place where like minded worriers can share tips, symptoms and successes

Clarkybird - you sound exhausted and not surprising really what with the OP and house move saga.

I think it is stress making your brain whirl around and think horrible things and make your body feel so rubbish.

Have you spoken to a Dr?

Are you doing any form of relaxation and getting some space to practise being calm in ( even a relaxing bath, some deep breathing etc can help)

hi there and welcome, this is very common what you have and usually something triggers it off, i had this after my nan died of cancer i was devastated and thought i had every illness going, she died 3 years ago but its eased off now and havent had it really in last year but i think certain things could trigger it off again, i find best way is to keep busy and i walk alot every day this in its self halfed my anxiety, a brisk walk every day
Hope you feel better soon xxxx

Hi All,

Thank you so much for your replies.Its good to know that im not on my own with these feelings :-(.....

I have spoken to my doc and he has given me tabs for anxiety but i really think i need some form of antidepressant..I just feel that this anxiety is taking over my life.I have a little boy and loving partner and i have no get up and go at all.

We also completed on our house sale on friday.This shouldve been the happiest time of my life but i couldnt of cared less....It upsets me to feel like this and even typing this to you all now it upsets me :-(.

Will i ever feel better?

xx
