Hard convincing

[Dragon88]

hi,

i find it really hard to convinve myself that i am actually fine.

i have had my blood pressure checked and sugar so many times now and yet i cannot believe it.

i seem2 get new symptoms which i have just mentioned in the health anxiety section.

does ne1 else feel this way and if so how do you overcome it.

im only 17 for gods sake!

I think you'll find that most of us have felt that way and it does take a while to accept that the tests are right and it is anxiety at work.

I can remember thinking that doctors have to be worng occassionally and obviously that had missed something in me and that I was definitely dying - that was 5 years ago and it hasn't happened.

It does get easier I promise.

You need to try and stop going for the blood test, etc because you are only making yourself more anxious by worrying that they will find some terrible disease....They won't.

I hope that you begin to feel better soon. PM me any time :)
