I'm 24 from the U.K and I've just noticed this forum today.
I am getting hypnotherapy at the end of the month to hopefully sort my problems out but thought I'd ask if people on here have had the same issues as me.
Sine December, something, somewhere, triggered in my mind that I had a major illness when I had extremely bad itching on my legs which turned into a rash that has had to be treated by Lotriderm cream every month or so. Happened when I wore shinpads at football.
I then developed the same problem on my groin and when I looked on the web it said it was all the worst diseases you could imagine. I remember looking online and going to bed at 5pm and it was a Saturday and I didn't eat or speak to anyone at all that week and phoned in ill at work.
No matter what my doctor says to me and no matter how much I'm told to calm down I can't seem to get it out my head I am dying and it's only a matter of time before I am told I have a severe illness.
It has been a very tough time since December and yet I still have a caring girlfriend and very good mates but my family are very hard to speak to about this because they think I am a nutcase.
Very recently I have noticed TINY bruising on my arms and leg, the size of a freckle , and again googled this and said it could be Leukemia and again I ran away for a few days before coming home and trying to calm down again.
And I have started coming out in some severe rashes because I am very very itchy around my hands and my neck and when I scratch and scratch myself it makes it a lot worse than it was and I start, once more, to run out the house and go in the car and consider doing something stupid.
I have been biting my gums a lot recently and they're very sore now and somehow my tongue is showing red spots or lumps and when I google that it says Oral Cancer or even worse and I consider doing the silly things again like not coming back home and going away in the car down south.
It's not fair on my g/f or my friends to keep seeing me in such a state and I am dragging them all down with me.
I cannot stop looking online to "reassure" myself because I make myself so so much worse.
The big problem since the summer has been a breathing issue too. I am struggling to breathe, especially after food, or at night, and I was given an inhaler and I seem to use it all in a week because I am so frightened at the thought of not being able to get any air at night.
I really hope the therapy works.
Has anyone here had this problem ?
Thanks for listening.
