feel like im going mad

Hi im new to this and have been suffering for ten months with health anxiety. I constantly think something is wrong with me and always looking for pains and am going round in a big circle. I cant stop focusing on these symptoms and think about it all the time .

talking to your doctor will help you guys cope with these obsessive thoughts. because that is all they are. thoughts. you are feeding the anxiety by freaking yourself out " my heart is palpitating, there must be something wrong"...

The book "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" by Edmund J. Bourne really helped me understand my panic/anxiety and gives you insight into tools that you can use. I also joined a support group that I start next Tuesday. This is never going to get better for you guys if you aren't proactive in your recovery!! you have to learn to cope!! it takes a lot of work and commitment but it is so worth it. Life was meant for living, not worrying about when it will end. much love you guys, this is not something that can't be overcome.

Since May, when my fear started - got worse over time.

There were weeks where I could not even get to sleep, let alone stay asleep.

Nowadays, I can sleep (maybe too tired after months of constant worrying), but will always wake about 4am / 5am... and have trouble returning to sleep.

Really in a mess.

I take sleeping pills from time to time - I try not to take everyday.  And even when I do sleep, it is very disturbed.  My mind is constantly worrying.

I am really in a mess - 360 degrees change from how I used to be.  So frustrated and sad.

Just yesterday, I opened up to a friend about my problem - the only person in the whole world who knows my problem (other than this forum of course).

I intend to get another rapid test this Thursday - which means 8.5 months post exposure.  I PRAY...

I just started therapy and I must say after I go and just talk to her I feel TONS better. Its so easy to really just feel like you will never get better but the key is to accept that yes I have this anxiety BUT I am on the right path to feeling better. it seriously is all about your thoughts, I was ok for almost 8 yrs before I had a panic attack on thanksgiving. now its just a matter of coming out of this again I know I can do it!! I feel better already.. :D

I just started buspirone on thursday and its messing with my sleep :( I know it takes time but I am one impatient GIRL. :/ I also quit smoking weed about 2 weeks ago and when I was really in the thick of my panic and went to urgent care the dr told me that a withdrawal symptom is upset tummy.
