Hi guys, i've posted this on the health anxiety bit of the forum but it would fit better here so...
Been going through 2 months of pretty life-altering anxiety after I scared myself one weekend. It all started when I got drunk and tried a drug for the first time. stupid I know, but I don't intend on ever doing it again so go easy on me... :yesyes:
I was fine in the days that followed apart from the shame of what i'd done, until I had a scare one night over having cancer because of a feeling i'd had in my bowels for years, which turned out to be IBS. It really scared me though and I was just lying awake trembling the whole night.
The next day after I'd been checked out I noticed i felt a bit different mentally, like a tired unfocused feeling which hasnt gone away since. If i worry about a part of my body the feeling almost goes away, or at least i dont notice it, but when i calm down i notice it more and more until I just feel the need to close my eyes.
The 2 weeks following my scare were followed by regular trips to the doctors to make sure what I took hadnt damaged my brain and they reassured me it was just anxiety.
To add, tonight has been terrible. Felt uncoordinated and dazed all day and managed to get to sleep at around 11pm until waking at 2:15am and now i'm just so scared about having a brain tumour its making me sick. It almost feels like my eyes are rolling round in my head when try to sleep. :weep:
I just dont know what to do anymore, i really dont.
