I can't cope with the worry anymore :-(

[krissybabes]

I suffered badly with panic attacks up until a few years ago when I somehow managed to get my irrational thoughts under control. Recently I have started the slow and slippery road backwards and I feel that it is worse than ever. I am letting HA take control of my life again and I don't know how to stop it. I don't want to go back to the doctor as I can't waste anymore of their time.

I have been having problems with irregular bleeding and keep convincing myself I have cervical cancer. The doctor has assured me that it is probably just my pill and has given me a new one to try. He has also referred me to the nurse to get smear tests up to date etc and also some other examinations just to rule everything out.

Today my nose bled very slightly. As I have a constantly blocked nose mainly on one side but sometimes disappears and shifts to the other side, I of course did the dreaded google and now convinced myself I have nasal cancer.

Why do these thoughts enter my head??? I just want to have a normal life again xxx

Good for you on getting on with managing things. I think I need to go to docs and tell them I am suffering from HA rather than concentrating on all of the things that could be wrong! I am going to have a reiki session this helps hugely relax me and get things out of my mind! :)

It's your imagination causing the anxiety not your symptoms, it might help to think of it that way.
Anxiety, stress, the pill all cause irregular bleeding ,
Your nose bleed was just because of your blocked nose, I always have one side of my nose blocked up, while it doesn't bleed I do get a lot of dried blood up there.

I hope you'll be reassured after the tests,

Thank you! I feel slightly better today after talking things through with my partner. Will feel lots better once the tests are done :winks:
