Hi, I'm a 31 year old female, I have currently suffered from anxiety for around 3 years. the last 2 years I've worked out that I suffer with health anxiety. I have 3 wonderful children and a partner who isnt as supportive of anxiety as id like but it is definately coming between us, I feel like I'm stuck in my own mind, frightened that at every minute of the day i may have a serious deseise. On a bad episode i may visit the doctor 5 times a week, or ring my mum or sister up at 4 o clock in the morning as i am in mid panick attack. I feel ill all the time, constant headaches everyday, i feel sick, and just cant get on and do anything because it makes me so depressed. I cant barely bring my self to hoover or wash up cuz im so terrified.
my lastest issue is I currenltly have lower back pain and right flank pain and right groin pain, and have had a xray several months ago which came back as maybe having kidney stones also i haad blood in my urine, currently to date i have always had this pain ,same place never goes a way and no blood in urine but now inflammetory cells. so am on antibiotics, but even the doctor has told me she isnt alarmed at my symptoms , i cant help but think i have bladder cancer, or something, im due for a ct scan but its horrendous waiting for my appointment. Why on earth do i not beleieve all the doctors or my family when they say im fine, I really just cant cope any more, i want to have a new mind and be like everyone else who thinks rationaly :( Any help???
