Hello
i've just found this site so thought I would introduce myself :) . I am lucy I am 29 (30 tomorrow!) i am married with a little girl of 4. I have suffered with anxiety and depression for most of my adult life. I have had some counselling last year but it has not helped much. Am going through a very bad time with anxiety at the moment. My anxiety problems are related to death at a young age. I am terribly afraid of dying young, I worry constantly about having a serious illness. This week its breast cancer, next week it could be mouth cancer, or HIV, because of this i am always checking my body for lumps or the slightest tummy ache or pain i automatically think I have some serious condition. I am also very scared of motorway driving, driving long distances, flying, trains, heights etc. I am too scared of dying in childbirth or getting MRSA to have any more children.
This is ruining my life and I feel taht i just cannot cope anymore. i want these feelings to go away so i can get on with my life and stop wasting it worrying but I just dont know how. I worry that if i am not worrying something bad will happen. I worry about my daugther growing up without me and forgetting about me :( i cannot read newspapers, or magazines. I cannot watch any type of medical drama as I will automatically think that I have illness that are featured. I wonder if there are any other people on here that are going through the same thing and I would truly love to hear from anyone who can identify with any of the things that I am going through.
for now - thanks for reading and goodby xx
