No such thing as 'just' health anxiety in my book. HA brought me to my knees - to actual mental breakdown. I feel for you. You have my empathy. It's a given. But, also, I can see what you are unable to at this point - which is that you can get better from this, and also what you need do to achieve it.
I am not disregarding what you say, I just like to talk to you people as you understand what I’m going through where as everyone else thinks I’m completely crazy
The problem is that, unfortunately, the thinking habits with HA are often reinforced by talking to people who 'understand it' but have never successfully controlled it.
Yes, it helps to know that people 'get it' but it's temporary relief. If you want to get out of this hell you're in, you're going to have to be proactive cocker, and that's the bottom (sorry) line.
I've been where you are. A&E. Emergency appointments. Overwhelming fear. I've been there - all with my little boy beside me.
Today will come and go. This 'emergency' will come and go and most likely amount to nothing because this is most likely a constipation issue. Nothing you've said makes me think otherwise. I'm no doctor but I have been through the whole HA bowel cancer circus. My husband has blood in his poo and he was fast tracked because he also had severe anaemia and VitB12 issues. He doesn't have cancer - even with 'scary' flags like that - he had pernicious anaemia (under control now) and a pile which bleeds every time he strains.
I wish you all the very best in getting your HA under control.
