Hi,
Sooo i'm new here, what an amazing site, just reading through some of the other threads has helped so much.
Where to begin..im 26 and i'm a bloody nightmare! i worry myself sick about everything. I have suffered from anxiety since my teens, mostly though i kept it under control but its got worse recently and come back with a vegence. i went to the doctor the other week convinced i was dying of lung cancer and i felt like i couldnt take a deep breathe, kept yawning my whole body was tense i gotmyself in such a state and my doc was like "panic attacks" there is nothing wrong with you blah blah now part of me knows that i should believe the doc and i felt releieved but the other part of me that smoke 15-20 ciggs a day for the last 8 years is like...hhmm what if shes wrong??
The smoking i guess is my main worry...i smoke a lot i know that and i have never stopped in 8 years...the doctor told me 8 years was nothing and she would only be worried if i had been smoking for 40 years for lung cancer copd etc but im still sure i have asthma or something. Always phlemy yesterday nearly had a panic attack in bloody blovkbusters because i couldnt cleasr my chest i was dry coughing and had this rasttling sound when i breathed. scared the crap out of me - actually thought about goign to A&E...so of course today i have been googling bloody rattling cough which told me all about the "death rattle" jezzzuss....
My other problem (i change my mind what to worry about weekly) is heart attack. I spend my days worrying about my nights...i read like 60% of heart attacks happen in the nigth and people just dont wake up...now this is my biggest fear, so i spend my days googling crap and worrying myself absolutly sick. I get pains in my chest and the last 2 days i have had this awful ache in my left shoulder. i actually was surprised when i woke up this morning. God how mad does that sound?!
I know im stupid...so what are the chances of a 26 year old dropping dead (okay nearly 27) im a good weight, maybe actually slightly too skinny dont drink much couple of glasses of wine here and there, but i smoke like a trooper...
Any advice would be hugely appreciated just some kind words wopuld make me feel sooo much better, im already worrying about tonight....
Thanks so much
