I'm going through some serious health anxiety at the moment. I have symptoms going on that have me worried to death that I have ALS (an uncle died from it), MS, a brain tumor, or I'm full of cancer. I'm in the process of getting checked out by the doctor but here in Canada you have to wait months sometimes to get a test done or to get in to see a specialist. Anyway, there are rare times when I'm able to distract myself from my worry but then a new worry will kick in ... If I stop obsessing about this and just wait until I get checked out before I start freaking out then it will mean that I will definitely have something truly serious going on. It's like I'm too scared to stop worrying because it might be inviting something terrible to happen. Are we really this superstitious?
