hi new here!!

[laurajordan]

Hi Im laura, and i have been suffering a great deal with health anxiety for over 4 years now,
It started out with concentrating to swallow, which has then manifested into..fear of termional illness (such as HIV, used to be lung cancer)
-nausea
-constant panic
-checking every bruise,scratch etc.
-feeling sick majority of the time..(only since i had fear of terminal illness)
-chest pains
-bouts of IBS
-fatigue
-shakey feelings
-head feels like its in the clouds
-from time to time i feel like im not in my own body, (especially at the mall)
-tightness in chest
and others im sure......
i have looked into hypnosis for it aswell, so maybe soon when im done with the yoga and therapy, (start monday) i will be able to get my life back again.

Hi Laurajordan,

Great that you found us!

You will find lots of useful info, advice and support here.

It sounds like you are already taking proactive steps towards getting better: hypnotherapy (am trying that myself in a week or so), yoga, therapy etc. :)

Thank-you!!
Its a nice feeling to see your not alone in your own twisted thoughts, it gives me some relief,
Everyday is a struggle and it sucks cause i imagine how much im missing out on everyday with my son and family and it hurts alot...i cry alot now....when i first had it it was just regular anxiety..(tight chest,lump in throat,sweaty plams)
and now it is so so much worse........now i honestly think im dying,.....and im going crazy..cause i just want to be myself again...and wake up with nice thoughts!!
and since i googled...dizziness,fatigue,diarreha,...i was convinced i have aids....
and what else is scary is that..before i over ate to compensate..now i dont have an appetite.....which weight loss is also a symptom of hiv.....
this horrible thought consumes my mind every hour of every day!!
