I'm glad your doctor was not concerned. I hope next week goes smoothly!

Thank you swgrl, me too!
Oh sorry Elen, no, she hasn't read my posts on here but she basically knows the deal. She knows I'm a mess. Although it transpires that the psychiatrist she found is actually another clinical psychologist. She is going to look into it though.
I normally hate people doing things for me because I don't really trust anyone... like with the miscarriage, I wouldn't let anyone help and tried to organise everything by myself. I think that's part of what broke me, because it was so stressful and I felt like I was standing alone against a million obstacles fighting for my life. I wouldn't even see my mother for weeks because I didn't want her to see me in such a state. But since then I've sort of crumpled and become the opposite and I can't / won't do anything for myself. Very strange.
I honestly think that she should read this.
Nothing we are saying appears to be helping at all and perhaps she will have some insight that will help you.
This is not about your symptoms but your mental health which is way off kilter.

Gosh I agree 100%. My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney cancer and I then shortly after became obsessed with every tiny ache and pain.
I took myself off to a psychiatrist and there was no way I was letting HA steal anything else from my life.
That was 4 years ago - I’ve never looked back.

Well done Tanya, sound advice. We do have to take responsibility for our own sanity if at all possible.
I've been following this thread and I wonder if Jenny has had encouragement with her predicament from fellow HA sufferers, the 'oxygen of publicity' as it were. Getting all this attention from faceless, nameless strangers can be more persuasive than actually stopping and realising that the smart thing to do is to actually listen to the experts.
I found it very interesting a while ago to think that Jenny would rather share all this on an anxiety forum than a gynae one. Maybe they're not so touchy feely over there...
Really hoping Jenny and all the HA sufferers realise that it's actually pointless stressing about something you've been told officially is nothing or almost certainly is nothing. Very often these people are very young, they can't even imagine being in their 50s and older, when the likelihood of being ill is far greater.
Too many young people are genuinely very ill. They would do anything to swap places with someone who is healthy.

You aren’t resistant to it. Believing that is your first mistake. It’s highly addictive. I used to take it when my anxiety was sky high or whilst waiting to have a medical test. Then when it was over I would stop taking it. I was only on 5mg and I only took it for a brief period of time. I knew I would get addicted to it and that kept me away from it.
