Hi everyone,
I have had gad for a number of years and have all the usual ups and downs but have been surprisingly not too bad this year, even with the pandemic.
That was until my husband, then my daughter, then myself, tested +ve for covid 6-8 weeks ago. Since then I have developed this awful obsession with my health. I am aware of every thing/sensation/feeling and so far in a week I have obsessed over renal failure, kidney cancer, ovarian cancer, bowel cancer and pancreatic cancer. I am at the stage where I don’t know which of my aches and pains are real and which are imagined.
I spoke to my GP on Friday and she was really good and prescribed Sertraline, which are still in the box because now I’m scared they’ll do me more harm.
I’m stuck in this spiral of fear and I don’t know how to break the cycle.
Does anyone have any advice/tips please? Anything?
Thank you
