Help!!

Since about 1-2 months ago i started with what i believe could be anxiety, days before that i commited a very serious crime against a family member wich worried me to death that i was going to prison.

After that i was fine no prision and it started of in bed when i kept thinking omg i'm gonna die i have a brain tumor.
Then one night i had a ull blown panic attack i felt like i was going to die or something.

It lasted for about 2 weeks with drowsiness, feeling tired, scared, out of breath moments, minor headaces and i always imagined or did see things going off in my eye.
It went away for a while i felt fine and happy.
Since then i got a girlfriend who is my world god she just makes me happy.

Bout 3 weeks on it's all started again i'm on the road to distruction, only this time my symptoms are what i look up to be a brain tumor, i always think i have this and it's just really hurting me thinking about it.

I've had a headace feels like someones pusshing on my temples, dizziness-drowsy for 2-3 days (Less than last time), now the more i think about it i got a heat sensation on the right side of my face. Now and again when i feel scared i muddle my words up and stuff.

I had pelvis pain the other day and i knew i was going to die but touch wood i didn't.


I need help please tell me am i going to die of a brain tumor or am i just anxious, iv'e broke down in tears believing im dying of it i'm in bits it puts me off my days sometimes with my girlfriend im only 16 i want the rest of my life to live. I really need help can you guys tell me if this is normal.

Thanks appreciate it.

Thanks guys and ladies, i have refrained from a doctors appointment as the last doctor said i was fine and my eye test was fine. I'm slowly overcoming it and i've learnt from my mistakes.

Thanks alot i will keep you updated.

Hi how do ya do? Hopefully feeling better. Anyhow I did read you above comments and I feel that you maybe thinking too much about the tumor thing. I suggest you to make an Appointment with a Doctor to get checked, a lot of times a Doctors reassurance is very helpful. It does sound like you have anxiety, your symptoms do relate to anxiety I know because I know how it feels. I am 26 now and had my very first Panic Attack when I was 14 after a basketball tournament. The best advice I can tell you is you gotta continue on your life and take one step at a time when your dealing with Anxiety. The belief that your dying is scary and affects everyone! But only if you compulsively think about it which is where most people with the disorder do(thinking and worrying about what is affecting you physically). I went through High School with no problem and college, you just gotta go on with your life with no worry, I like to say im pretty successful at it so far knock on wood but if it comes back I'll know how to handle it. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply, lately i started to see a counciler and the talking has helped. between me and her we thought thats were it could have started and so she said i need to stop stressing.

The bad thing i do is use google and always end up with thinking i am going to die, everyone is saying ANXIETY i just need to pull myself round to belive.

once again thanks for the reply and i will let you all know how i get on.

Hello, and welcome to the forum!

I think one of the main issues you need to tackle is your guilt over the crime your committed.  It sounds as though that's where everything pretty much started, which makes sense.  "Talk therapy" is the best option for you IMO, due to your young age and the issues you are dealing with.

To reassure you, I would bet money that you do not have a brain tumor, it simply is rare  at your age, yet it IS a very common worry of someone with anxiety.

Get yourself to a therapist and start working through your issues.
