Hi All,
Does anyone get freaked out by articles in magazines/newspapers and on the tv?
Its getting ridiculous now for me. I come across stories in magazines i.e about people who die young suddenly from clots and other random things or find a small lump and 2 months later they have died, when Steven Gately died i just got so freaked out and convinced 100% that i must have what he did and its just brewing up waiting to attack me - for example yesterday in the sun there was a news story about this woman who had anxiety and she said over the years it gave her "sticky blood" which gave her a heart attack!! now of course im thinking that i must be getting sticky blood too and that im doomed.
I dont look for stories like these they just seem to always be in whatever paper i happen to be reading at the time!
I am anxious about dying suddenly because my mum died out of the blue 2 years ago at the age of 54 from a heart attack and she was in good health. It was and still is a huge shock for me and i just cant come to terms with her death.
I had anxiety before she died though so i know that wasnt the trigger of this HA i have but it dont help like!
I am very anxious now that the doctor will put all my symptoms down to anxeity and that i will have a real emergency and i will fob it off as anxiety and it will be the downfall for me. Im even anxious about saying this as i believe im scared what i write will come true!!!!
It cant go on like this.......anyone feel the same??
