Hey all you fellow Anxiety sufferer's, it's been a few months since i've felt this low but i'm suffering really bad with HA worries again and it's ruining every aspect of my life, my home life, my marriage, my relationship with my kids, my current pregnancy, everything.
Here's where i am at the moment;
Last August i was suffering from daily panic attacks, horrible things that i really thought i'd beaten, i was at the doctor's constantly thinking i was going to have a heart attack or i was dying of cancer, this is where my health anxiety started.
Along with the anxiety came all the symptoms, that triggered off my HA worries, dizziness and headaches, thought i had a brain tumour, Bowel problem's, thought i had bowel cancer, etcf, etc.
Anyway my latest worry and by far the worst yet is my constant worry of breast cancer, i'm currently having problem's with my right breast, i'm scared to death i have breast cancer, i had a lump back in may that i was referred to a breast clinic for, i should also point out at the moment i'm 6 months pregnant, anyway the lump turned out to be normal breast hormone changes, probably to do with the pregnancy i guess. That was the issue sorted so i thought, now i'm having more problems in a differnet area of the same breast, my nipple to me looks slightly inverted, i'm not sure if it's always been like that i went to the doctor last week, and he said it looked normal as it was retracting when touched, but my right breast also itches like mad, it's sore, and uncomfortable, and i can't stop prodding and poking it, i look at my nipple so many times in the day i just can't help it.
I'm ruining my life because i can't stop worrying about things, i live in fear that i'm going to die from cancer, i'm unable to enjoy my pregnancy because of this and my husband can't take much more of me being miserable and down, i think i've got all the symptoms of a rare form of breast cancer called infammortary breast cancer, but i've been to my doctor's so many times lately there all sick of me too, what should i do?
