anxiety issues with diseases and incurable grave illness

[B4n5011a]

Over the past week have felt anxiety just with health issues out there. I work in the health care field and see things weekly but once in a while my mind wonders and I develop anxiety where I sleep too long, feel weak, isolated and trapped.

I've had tingling and numbness in my arms and feet, not overly bad but there. Seeing people who have what is the topic of my post makes me once in a while fall into this anxiety trap! I've scheduled an appointment with my pcp for a physical and will schedule appt for a therapist...

I am one who researches signs and symptoms.  And run with them so to speak. It scares the hell out of me and though I tell myself these symptoms could be soooo many things etc..and the odds/unlikely hood of the issue, it becomes overwhelming...

Just wanting to hear other people's thoughts/experience and opinions..thanks!

Omgggg I do the same thing! I suffer from anxiety and although I had doctors take blood and check for everything...(all came out negative) I still think"what if"., Google symptoms, then all of a sudden i have them.
I have tingles and muscle twitches
Headaches sometimes
Cramps sometimes...
A hot flash or two every now and then... But mainly when I start panicking.
I'm prescribed buspo for anxiety but I can't seem  just be my normal self! Then when we start  experiencing physical signs of anxiety. It makes anxiety worse! I hate it!

I am an over thinker, massively. I was diagnosed depression and anxiety 2/3 months ago and have suffered I'd say almost a year? Since splitting from a long term relationship and loosing family members my life has become a mess. I've lost a job, friends, family, my parents hate me for the way I am. It's like I'm being punished for being born! My chest pain is horrendous although the more I read Google - relating my symptoms to anxiety it's almost comforting hooing it's nothing more serious. I'm hoping to see my gp tomorrow as I have a new job; worked one day of it and have been off 6 days! I cannot continue this battle I need help!!! I'm hoping I'm not alone this list feeling of not being in control is horrendous and I don't want it anymore! :( can't sleep when I should be sleeping it's horrible!
