Im new

[Linzilollipop]

Hi im Lindsay and im 27.I have been suffering from health anxiety since july of this year.It has taken over my life and im scared of everything.My 8 year old daughter was hospitalised with tonsillitis as she was very poorly and i believe my illness has stemmed from this and she woke up this morning with it again and i just went to bits.I have visited the doctors numerous times and have been given all sorts of medication from mild anti depressants to beta blockers for my chest pains.Iam currently on a waiting list for counselling.I just want a normal life again:weep:xxx

Thankyou for all being so nice.I know what i think is irrational and i know it sounds silly to others but i cant help the way i feel.My colleagues just laugh when i run when people sneeze or cough and i carry anti bacterial hand gels with me all of the time.I even make my little girl use one and have her take one school and the last thing i want is to make her a nervous wreck too.My partner works away monday to Friday so i lie in an empty bed wondering if im going to die in my sleep and when my alarm goes off in the morning its a relief to still be alive,When he comes back home Fridays i just break down and this causes problems as he doesnt undersstand he just thinks im being silly.I cant wait for a day where i can be as carefree as i was.xxx
