Hi, I share your pain, and as I have been banging on about in various threads, I am having CBT to help deal with health anxiety, stress and negative thoughts. The negative thinking is by far the worst part of anxiety for me but it is just another symptom of the illness. When we are okay, these thoughts might strike randomly and simply bounce off, but when we're low or distressed they hit ten times harder.

Normally they start to go away or have less impact as we start feeling better.
