Hi I haven't been on here for a while as I had been feeling so much better, but here I am again because of this bloody health anxiety !! Sorry this might be a bit of a ramble but need to vent somewhere as I am trying to be strong around everyone at home !!
I had a scare earlier on this week and am now trying not to convince myself that i have bowel cancer !!!
I went to my doctor who sent a sample away due to fact that i may have a tummy bug and because I work in a supermarket it's an enviromental health issue, so of course i am now expecting the worse !!!
How can i go from being perfectly happy in my life , apart from the usual worries to being a wreck so quickly, I am desperately trying not to give in to it this time but it is so hard and the days seem so long as i'm waking early !!
I have been having cbt but my therapist couldn't really help with the health anxiety as i wasn't suffering from it at the time, now it has reared its ugly head and my next appointment isn't till April 4th.
Does anybody know of any good self help tips ? I am trying to keep busy, but it is so hard, but I am refusing to give in to this again for my sanity and my husbands !!! ( who dosn't know how i'm feeling at the mo !!)
I gave up smoking for 7 weeks and now i'm back on them again and i'm sure they make anxiety worse !
Sorry for the ramble everyone , but needed to hear a bit of reassurance xxx:weep:
