HELP ME

[tinkerbel19]

I fear death and having an illness. I don't know how to handle it. I hope you'd help me. I've talk with spiritual leaders and psychiatrist and it helped me for a while but my anxious thoughts are still with me. I'm dealing with this for 2 weeks now.

Is there anything that brings you joy? There are some motivational videos I like to watch on YouTube. They’re helpful a lot

[tinkerbel19 in reply to Yellowleaves]

Nothing gives me joy, I feel. like Im down even if im watching videos, I still think of negative thoughts

[Yellowleaves in reply to tinkerbel19]

What thoughts are you thinking of? Do you have triggers?

[tinkerbel19 in reply to Yellowleaves]

That I will die and I'm afraid

Hi tinkerbel19, what happened 2 weeks ago that started this obsession?

Something must have triggered you focusing on sickness and dying. x

My grandmother died because of breast cancer.

I'm truly sorry to hear that tinkerbel but now you have the

reason these fears have crept up. You are in not only a grieving

period right now but also a fear cycle. It's very disturbing to see

someone you love suffering and pass away from a catastrophic illness.

However, that doesn't mean that it is going to happen to you. This is

how fear traps us into this belief. It comes about during our most vulnerable

time and plants that idea in our subconscious mind.

I think it may help you to talk with a professional who can help you through

both the grieving and the fear. Once you get a platform to stand on, you will

be able to go ahead in life. It is very normal to feel some anxiety after experiencing

something like you did. What's not normal is when it continues on and on and you

focus on nothing else but that. With my sincerest sympathy to you, I hope that you

will get the help you need soon. We will be here for you to comfort and understand, because we all care. xx

You are in the right place. I have health anxiety and it is the worst. Try to get your mind off of it as soon as possible and don’t let it become a problem. Keep talking to your psychiatrist and try and see if he/she can help you through it

[tinkerbel19 in reply to Anxiousdude]

Thank you so much I hope we will both be okay soon

[Anxiousdude in reply to tinkerbel19]

I have been going through it for over a year and a half and just started getting help. I wish I knew sooner because it is terrible. I wish you all the best

[tinkerbel19 in reply to Anxiousdude]

I see. I hope you'll get better soon.. We can do this.

I’m sorry to hear this. Anxiety can make it so hard to function. It’s good to reach out for help.
