Its coming up to the 2 yr anniversary of losing my mum, and the start of my Health Anxiety, and although i knew it wasnt going to be a joyride.. i just feel like rubbish!
The usual aches and pains lack of sleep, nausea, teariness but a new one has arrived, i have a pain in my left side, below my ribs, all last night it was there not painful just if i laid funny or moved quickly i could feel a dull ache.
This morning it is a little worse and sometimes it feels like someone is squeezing me. It is tender to the touch and thought at first i had knocked myself but there is no bruise.
It does make a change from thinking the worst about having a Heart attack.. But like usual because i havent had this before i am worried it is something bad! Then the stress kicks in and viscious circle here we come.
I am sorry for posting but need to get off of my chest. No one knows to what extent i am suffering as i suffer in silence (in the real world)
I am waiting on CBT and use a couple of iphone apps but none really help.
Looking for a book to read about Health Anxiety or decent iphone apps if anyone can recommend as i am now fed up with feeling crap and i am sure my mum is going mad that i am putting myself through this.
