I have had Health Anxiety for most of my life and I am not young now. It is my ever present companion. I lost my father in a tragic accident in 1984, watched my mom nurse my bed-ridden grandmother for 8 years, cared for my mother who had a terminal chondrosarcoma of the bone in the spine for 4 years- full time, after my mom died my very close aunt (mother’s sister) died of ovarian cancer, and two years later her daughter dies of pancreatic cancer. Many losses in a somewhat short period of time. I like you avoid the doctor at all cost and do not want to know what is wrong with me, as I can’t stand the thought of waiting for the test results and all of the what-ifs that will follow if there is something wrong. I somewhat fear death as an unknow, but I love the Lord and believe he does have a place prepared for me and I will live with him. I like you do not want any parts of the dying process. I have gone through many treatments, regular psychiatrist, CBT Therapy and a PTSD therapist – she helped me with many other things in my life and made things clearer as to how I came to suffer from the Health Anxiety, but it did not take it away. Four years ago, I went to a new GP doctor asking for some relieve from the anxiety and all she did was take my family history, pressed on my stomach, checked my heart and lungs and then proceeded to tell me that as a new patient I needed to get all of this blood work done, a colonoscopy, visit a gynecologist, mammogram, etc. For someone that was not suffering from HA this might have been acceptable, my head was spinning and < felt>

Looking over this blog site and every person’s reports might have been a weight out-of my personal shoulders. I can not bed later in the day because I am crippled which have worry you to I really don’t wake up. I am 23 year-old girls as well as the past step three/cuatro many years my personal anxiety has gotten worse. You will find entered every position- cervical disease, cancer of the skin, DVT, mind tumours, the list really is endless. We have a tendency to score an expression while focusing on it getting Days plus it also often gets far worse (I’ve discover tht anxiety can make you in fact get to be the danger signal) and then I have found new things to a target. Already I am crippled with anxiety that i have cancer of the breast – more nothing extremely. I do believe concerning the upcoming and you can think I am unable to expect about this however if We perish otherwise features malignant tumors and can’t live life fully. It eats my personal opinion. Nobody understands – my loved ones, household members, date – they all think I’m overreacting. I’ve experimented with treatment- they didn’t assist:( I believe powerless. And i now stop everything you related to fitness / disease – however, work with a hospital so feel just like this can be so it’s worse. It is a reduction to learn you are not alone- enables you to become reduced “crazy”.
