Hi all,

Ive started to deal (i think) my health anxiety in respect of myself but the last week ive been worried about my husband. He has had bleeding (he said had two cuts) is tired (working harder in the gym) and bowel habits have changed (sometimes twice a day)

I need some sence talking in to me.

So he's bleeding because he cut himself, is tired because he's exercising more and has had a couple of extra poo's?

[MrsEd]

Yes exactly, bleeding from his bottom, more poos and is tired. All with plausible explanations but i jump to cancer.

The big question is, if we all told you you're being irrational (and you know you are), will it help? While I'd love to see you do it on your own, I'm happy to do so if it will

I think it will help tonight. Tomorrow? Who knows? Thats the problem with health anixety though i guess isnt it

But you can get help with the HA so these things don't escalate so why not do that?

Your own words are the best reassurance as I wouldn't say anything different. Nic's advice is spot on too.
