Oh god what’s wrong with me

Hi guys I’m writing to you in the middle of a very aggressive health anxiety attack I’ve just found a small puncture wound on my leg very time cut and I’m now in w frenzy I’m terrified that I’m about to the fact I could be in a serious medical situation because straight after I found the cut I started thinking I have tetanus or it’s some kind of dangerous sting. Why am I like this where wrong with me? Now I feel all light headed and tired

It’s the fear & anxiety...

I’m sorry for your suffering.

What you're experiencing is perfectly normal for someone with high anxiety. When our nerves are over sensitive every little concern or small problem feels ten times worst than it is. We always fear the worst case scenario.

An upset stomach becomes pancreatic cancer, indigestion becomes heart failure and a dripping tap becomes a major drama. In your case it's a small insect bite which you've exaggerated into some life-threatening event.

Just accept it as an innocent insect bite which is exactly what it is. It can't kill you or disable you. You are not in danger so it's not worth worrying about.
