I need advice

[1234travis]

I am new here, I just feel like I need someone to talk to. I always have this feeling of tiredness, muscle pain and twitching that makes me so nervous. I'm afraid that I have this so called autoimmune disease ( MS) I"m always thinking of what will happen to my daughter if I"m sick and die. I went to a neurologist and according to her diagnosis my neuro test are ok so what I have is anxiety dis order. But everytime I feel pain in my body and my muscle twitched i can't help but worry again what if the doctor is wrong with her diagnosis, what if i really have multiple sclerosis and I'm back again to over thinking and worry. What should I do to cope with my anxiety?

It sounds like classic health anxiety. Can you find a therapist in your area for treatment? In the meantime, the article below may be of help:

I have hypochondria as well, So I know exactly where you're coming from. Just try an focus your mind somewhere else. Easier said than done. I like amsr vids on YouTube. Or just funny movies

My therapist taught me a breathing technique. Breath in 4 seconds COUNT while you breath, and breath out 6 seconds. Again count when you breath or it wont work.

Your mind is focusing on counting. AND breathing. So your brain tells your flight or fight to chill out.
