Weird anxiety worry

[Meyer_Gdmnx]

Hi guys I’m twenty one I suffer from generalised anxiety disorder and health anxiety disorder as well as panic disorder. Ever since the age of 10 I’ve wanted to be a stand up comedian but over the past couple of years I’ve gained a fear of becoming famous and people knowing who I am I really have no idea why this is or where it comes from but just the thought of it makes me feel sick and brings on panic attacks I really don’t want this anxiety to hinder me from pursuing my dream because of this irrational worry any advice? ( I know I’m jumping the gun a bit as well by the way😂)

Humor is just tragedy turned upside down. Sounds like a perfect career. I've looked over your posts and you seem to me to be a severe hypochondriac with paranoid obsessive thinking. All those little aches and pain and your mind turns it into Chernobyl. How funny is that? Sounds like you have your stand up material that will write itself.

I've often said, "I'm not depressed. I'm just depressed that I have panic attacks." You aren't sick. You are just sick of the perpetual thoughts that plague you that keep making you think you are sick.

Don't live in your head anymore. Live in the world. To talk about your worries and struggles and then find ways to make people laugh about them will certainly help you be able to laugh a little more at yourself and the crazy games your brain is trying to play on you. Much love--

This is the best reply I’ve probably received on this site no offence to anyone else😂 thank you very very much! You’ve given me a brand new perspective

How very kind! I ripped this off of the internet--hope it makes you laugh:

Brian, one of the worlds greatest hypochondriacs, bumped into his Dr. one day at the supermarket. “Doc!” Brian exclaimed, “I’ve been meaning to tell you, remember those voices I kept on hearing in my head? I haven’t heard them in over a week!” “Wow! What wonderful news Brian! I’m so happy for you!” his Dr. exclaimed. “Wonderful?” asked a dismal looking Brian. “There’s nothing wonderful about it. I’m afraid my hearing is starting to go now!"

If it's not one thing, it's another, am I right??!

Also, stay away from web MD!

Thank you very much I’m usually comforted by the idea that I know I’m being ridiculous if that makes any sense
