I have been going through this for seven years. I have a horrible fear of cancer. I feel like I am going crazy and my husband tries to comfort me. This fear is so strong, it leaves me numb and feeling so helpless and drained. I don't know what to do to make it stop. Sadly it's nice to see others like me. I don't feel so ashamed now. Want to be happy again.  Prayers for us all

It's crazy how the mind works.  I've been dying since maybe August  or September?  Why?  Well, I place partial blame on my primary doctor.  See, I had a gnarly case of vertigo.  That sent me kind of over the edge to get my physical.  My first one in so many years.  So with my physical came the routine blood tests.  First of all, let me tell you...I don't go to Doctors that often.  This year alone I have gone more times than I ever had since I've had health insurance.  So, blood tests reveal I have Iron Deficiency Anemia.  I've been losing way too much blood via the rear exit because of good ole hems!  So, to back track a little, this issue did concern me a couple of years ago and I went to urgent care.  UC doc took a look, pretty much confirmed it was hems but wanted me to do a sigmoidoscopy but i didn't.  Here we are this year, my primary doc is upset that I didn't get that done and now wants me to do a full on colonscopy.  BUT, he also says this..."I want to rule out Cancer." HOLD THE PHONE!  Why would you say that?  So....I go through the procedure.  GI doctor was more realistic...told me if anything was brewing, I would have known by now since I've had this issue for quite some time now.  So...my procedure turns up nothing and I go on my way.  I feel great, new lease on life....until 3 weeks later my primary doc calls again.  Still puzzled about my blood results.  Couldn't believe my iron levels are as low as they are due to hems. Started asking about my digestive system, am I bloated..blah blah blah... This is where I kind of lost trust/faith in my doc, and my Health Anxiety issues began.  I had to remind HIM that this didn't happen over a period of days, weeks or months.  This was YEARS in the making.  He paused and then back tracked.  and ooooh.  Okay, lets treat the anemia with iron for now.  Since then...SINCE THAT POINT..I have started with this whole dying thing and that I have Cancer.  To make matters worse, I go through Dr. Google, a very trusted source.  Let me tell you, DON'T EVER trust Dr. Google.  Dr. Google can single handedly kill you without physically killing you.  So, I have been to Urgent Care for breathing issues and that was a result of Anxiety.  I asked if it was Lung Cancer straight out, UC Doc assured me it wasn't.  I took a heart stress test, came out "Normal" but I can't for the life of me shake this feeling off.  I'm getting angry at my self because it's like it's taking over.  Today, I feel Off but am I dying?  Probably not, but how do I convince myself of that?  I don't know what's going on inside of my body.  I can't see inside.  How do I trust myself?  I think what's most scary is the not knowing part.  I don't know what's going on inside me but I wish I did.  Am I scared to Die?  HELL YEAH!  I really wish I could shake this off.  It's not healthy...but blogs like these help!  Whether we think so or not, we all have the same symptoms of this wonderful thing called Health Anxiety.  Our triggers are different of course, mine was my own doctor.  Others was a death close to them or maybe even Dr. Google.  In the end, we wake up everyday..and I wake up hoping that this feeling would just go away!

Crazy how many people still look at this, I have really bad anxiety and I recently been feeling like this, but I'm glad i found out this is an actual thing that a lot of people go through. Anyone who reads this, just know that you aren't dying and that you are only over thinking things. Don't think that you might be different from everyone else and that you might be actually dying, because you really aren't. It's just all in your head. And remember you're not alone. Just enjoy what you have now. Don't overthink things. I hope I helped (:

Hi, im 20 years old and reading this post finally put some piece in my mind, ive been suffering with this for about 4 years now, it got worse once I got on the birth control nexplanon. I have two kids and I always think im not going to wake up when I go to sleep and there going to be motherless. my arms, legs, everything goes numb, I get really sweaty, I always think im dying of some unknown illness.. I can get sick and think its the worst possible thing ever.. idk what to do. im to the point that im scared to even take anxiety medician for getting addicted or not being able to function on them and take care of my kids. But this post really helped me. thank you all.

You are not alone. Every day I think I'm gonna die. It's not good. What you should do is think and live in the present. You are alive today, enjoy life while you have it.
