Am I ever going to be happy again ? Ever going to stop obsessing ? Is it an obsession ? Or is it true that I’m going to die soon ? My thoughts have been taken over .. should I say my goodbyes ? Can humans sense their death ? I don’t know anymore . I thought I found my trigger , but now that I feel like I know what triggered me the thoughts will not leave me alone .

health anxiety is a horrible anxiety, and it just wreaks havoc on some. It's intrusive thoughts are just devastating and I'm very sorry your going through this. Do you have a good therapist who knows how to deal with this type of anxiety and can help guide you through what is and is not a real concern. As most of what some suffer is because this disease is causing extreme thoughts that are just not real. But it's hard to rationalise this on your own, most need a professional to help sort this out.

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. I can relate to how your feeling. I also agree with what fauxartist's post says. I had a period of time where i did not sleep because I had a thought that when I did sleep I would die. I worked through this with my therapist but it still occurs when my stress is really high. I hope you find some relief!

stress is a very underrated word..... stress wreaks havoc in real physical ways .....it effects cancer, stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and in general the body's ability to heal. Let alone what stress does to those of us with anxiety and depression.

I’m in the process of getting a therapist but unfortunately I have to pay out of pocket so it’s taking longer for me to get one . I will have one in a few weeks . I’m beginning to wonder if they would be even able to help me

if I may suggest what I did was look into some local clinics that have an intern-ship program where counsellors are getting their 1000 hours of sessions to get their license. I had the best therapy with a gal doing her hours and she helped me tremendously. It's a pay as you can type of set up, and I only paid 10.00 per session...it worked out great. I know that there are other groups out there too, you may want to do some searching on the internet and see what's available....
