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 you will every person’s reports could have been an encumbrance of my arms. I can not sleep at night as I am crippled that have anxiety one to I don’t awaken. I’m 23 yr old lady and over the last step three/cuatro age my personal nervousness has received bad. We have entered all status- cervical cancer tumors, cancer of the skin, DVT, head tumours, record is endless. I tend to rating an expression and concentrate involved having Months and it even either gets worse (I have see tht stress can make you actually end up being the danger signal) right after which I have found something new to focus on. Currently I’m crippled that have anxiety which i keeps breast cancer – more than absolutely nothing very. I think regarding future and you can imagine I am unable to look forward regarding it however if We perish or provides cancers and cannot exist totally. They takes my personal thoughts. No body understands – my loved ones, family relations, boyfriend – all of them envision I am overreacting. We have experimented with procedures- they don’t help:( I feel powerless. And i today end what you related to fitness / problems – but are employed in a hospital thus feel like this is it is therefore tough. It is a reduction to understand you are not alone- makes you feel smaller “crazy”.

Thank-you therefore, really for it blog post. I have yet to see anyone thus directly mirror my personal specific number of wellness nervousness (and our very own range of mind-‘diagnosed’ disorders is in fact the same verbatim). I am in the midst of it now. A week ago, I got bloodstream labs and good CT showing typical. Recently, We returned into hospital to inquire of her or him when they are *sure* the new CT don’t ‘miss’ some thing. I am a race-towards-the-medical sort of gal. Today, my completion was not googling attacks non-stop. Kid measures. It’s very reassuring to understand I’m not alone. Thank you!
