pb's Health anxiety worries thread

[pulisa]

I have a chronic pain condition and just live with it. There's no point in dwelling on it. I just carry on as normal and I'm a carer.

Do give jewellery making a go, pb? Crafting is so therapeutic and concentrates the mind away from pain and fear xx

I've been doing it for about 14 years now; it's taught me so much about being patient with myself and allowing myself to make mistakes. Sure, I was lousy at the start, but luckily I stuck with it and it's a source of joy and pride to me.

You deserve to feel proud of yourself, too.

A friend is going to send me some wool and a crochet hook, I use to crochet years ago.
Have pain behind my knee now, my mind goes to dvt.
I need to stop this , I really feel that I’m coming to the end of what I can cope with.
Will definitely try to explain everything to gp on Wednesday x

You've been at the end of what you can cope with for months now, allegedly. You're still here.

You really need to stop with the negative self-talk because it's making everything so much worse. Pulisa's right; sometimes we just have to accept that a situation isn't perfect and get on with living.

That’s so true, a reality check is good, Thank you x

I’ve also ordered some wool and knitting needles from eBay , all for £6, pain behind knee has gone, but have burning pain on hip and over belly button.
I can’t be imagining all these pains.
I am really trying, I’ve seen people repeatedly post on here, but never move on from the HA, I don’t want this, I really don’t!

You really need to drop the negative self-talk. There's every chance these could all be caused by anxiety, but even if they're not, it's very likely that there's nothing serious behind it.

Yes I know, in the past when I’ve worried about an illness , I’ve developed all the symptoms, even to loosing some sight in my eye when I thought I had ms, although only for a short while.
I know the mind is very powerful.
Im going to ask gp for medication, as I don’t think I can do this without.
Im going to make a cup of tea and watch some tv x

I think that if you could tell us what positive things you are doing without documenting all the aches and pains(which come and go and move around anyway) it may be more helpful for your day to day mood? Your positive wellbeing is more important than a catalogue of pain sensations x
