View Full Version : why can't believe what doctor has told me
My doctor has diagnosed me with IBS but i can't help thinking its something much worse. I have had unpleasant symptoms most days for 5 months now, is this normal ? The worry that its something else is making my anxiety go through the roof and i feel very depressed. I am so scared i will make myself really ill with all this worry as i have done in the past. Please help !!! xxx:weep:
Why do you think it's something worse ad are you on medication for it.. if you need help msg me
Because it feels so awful at times, hard to believe its nothing serious !!!!!!

hi rosebud im suffering with a bit of ocd. it sounds a bit like obsession or could just be general anxiety. why dont you spk to the doctor and let him/her know how you feel. they could talk this through with you xx
I never believe the doctor either - I had terrible pains in my stomach and thought it was cancer (this is a recurring thing with me - I always think it's something terminal) I was too scared to go to the doctor so I sat quietly and let my mind think about the problem and I realised that it had something to do with bread, so I stopped eating all kinds of wheat based things and I never get stomach ache any more - now I just worry about other things instead!! One good technique that i've found useful is to write a long list of all the things that feel good in your body - like shiny hair and strong nails, good skin and flexible joints etc...you will find that the positive will outweigh the negative. And don't watch any TV with medical themes - I can't believe the amount of people who go into Holby for an ingrowing toenail and come away with terminal heart conditions!
I always think I got something wrong , at the moment Ive got a sinus infection , convinced it was a tumor oh and also "google" convinced me I may have DVT ! worse mistake I ever made was googling my symptoms !
