Ode to a hyperchrondriac x

[hyper]

I wish I could stop, I know it’s a farce
My family think I’m a pain in the arse
All that poking and prodding and trips to the docs
And the cold wave of fear from my head to my socks

I have lumps bumps and ulcers, twitches and pains
I google all day till I am quite deranged
It just fuels my anxiety and gives no relief
I wish I could find some strength and self-belief.

My therapist says CBT is the answer
But I wish it would work just a little bit faster
Confronting the fear is the only way
Be grateful for life and enjoy every day

So I step back from myself and with a rational head
Think of much better things I could be doing instead
Like spending time with my family, having days in the sun
I really am missing out on so much fun.
:)

Fantastic - it says it all!!!
It actually brought a tear to my eye because I know how much I am missing out on.
