Anxiety?

[mistake789]

I am experiencing alot of weird things with my health and i am only 20 years old and im experiencing tingling and crawling feelings in my legs and arms and also have little chest pain and doctor ran an ekg and said everything was okay. I dont know if this is hiv anxiety because i had protected sex with this girl and these symptoms have continued since then but my hiv test were all negative and the hiv forum said i had no risk at all. I would appreciate any help. Can this all be anxiety related?

yeah thanks for the advice and I will think positive and hopefully counseling works for me.

You need to tell them you have trouble dropping this fear even though your doctors told you that you are negative.  Until Tuesday try to tell yourself. I tested negative. I never a risk in the first place, I am negative! positive thinking.

Thank you for your knowledgeable comments. I have an appointment on Tuesday with a counselor and hopefully i can open up to her and hopefully it will be helpful.

Either is skilled in counseling you with the help and guidance you will need. They both have the training that can aid you with support on this issue. It is more important to find a counselor that you can open up to and trust. Stay positive

Do you think that i should see a psychologist or a psychiatrist? Which are more helpful? I attend a university and they offer free counseling services and those counselors have a doctoral in phsychology, do you think that they will be helpful?

Therapy does work in a number of ways. It can be a release of your internal thoughts to a professional that can ease your mind to your symptoms and negative thinking. They can teach you coping skills and techniques that can help to calm and ease your mind and teach you to break the anxiety cycle.

Have you done therapy and did it work for you?

[mistake789]

i really do have trouble dropping this fear because of these weird symptoms, i just dont know if therapy is the right thing for me or not.

Therapy is a wonderful tool for anxiety and would highly recommend it.

For some people it works great.  Are you having trouble dropping this fear or something?

[mistake789]

I have talked to my doctor and he has done all test and says im okay. He says im conclusively hiv negative and he thinks i should see a phsychiatrist but i dont know if thats a good idea. Does that work?

Yes everything you listed can be anxiety related. Best to talk to your doctor about all of this.
