Hey, i've been thinking lately about brain aneurysm's and i have realised that i could have one without even knowing it and i could just die at any minute. i'm so scared about it and i don't know how to deal with it. any advice for dealing with this anxiety. i'm so scared coz i do get quite a few headaches and i suffer from dizziness but i put it down to health anxiety but now i'm convinced i have a brain aneurysm. advice please?
please reply
Luv Louise Xx

Im the same Louise, knowing something like that could happen in a matter of a second, really freaks me out.

Something could happen to all of us, but what is the point of worrying about something that is out of our control.

I have had moments when I have thought about this but really, we could drive ourselves insane thinking and thinking about these things What I find interesting is that the statistics are higher for any of us to go and and be in a road traffic accident yet there are never ever posts on here about worrying about going out in our car's, on the bus, on the train, going for a walk! Its all mind over matter really isnt it.

You could probably get it on the NHS.:)

It is free on the NHS but ask specifically for CBT

Hi louise. A cousin of mine passed away last week from a aneurysm. She was walking up the stairs, took a pain in her head. and that was it. i get headaches all the time as well, and am scared of having one myself :( life can be so scary. i am starting some counselling tomorrow. i have also been worrying alot about the swine flu so hopefully counselling will help. just wanted to let you know your not alone.
