advise/ comfort ?

I have bad anxiety. And when my mind starts going I can’t stop it. I feel like I could die at any moment. Ive been battling a sinus infection but part of me thinks the drs were wrong. Something tells me it’s a problem with my brain. I’ll start over thinking and checking myself for stroke, I am 23 year old don’t have any family history of stroke. I tell myself I am fine and I am healthy but that only goes so far. I fight my brain over and over. I overthink every little body change. I call nurses over the smallest stuff. For as much as they say they don’t mind me calling so much I know it has to bother them the more they answer the phone and it’s me again. My dr noticed that my anxiety is so bad that she ordered a bunch of tests to make sure I am okay and so I know I am okay and I can tell myself that with proof. The latest thing she ordered for me is a brain cat scan, I haven’t gotten it done yet but I probably should for my peace of mind.

I had the same problems when I was your age thinking I was having heart attacks.. It stopped for years , but now I am getting older , I am having health issues and it's starting again.. Stupid brain thinking the worse is going to happen.. What really helped me if therapy , pills didn't do anything.. And talk to loved ones... don't be shy or embarrassed to tell ur story!!

Something really helps is when your having a good day , no anxiety , you take it all in and embrace it. And you tell yourself, this is how life should feel.. I can beat this, I am stronger than this silly anxiety!!

I've been dealing with the same situation I've had multiple ekgs brain scans and blood test everything's fine but I have to keep telling my self that I'm ok the best thing I've learned that helps is working on puzzles or just doodling random thing just to get my mind off of it! It takes the edge off

Hello you have a lot to deal with right now getting married the buiseness etc I remember on buying my house my anxiety hit the roof will the sale fall through it nearly did the sellers lost the house they wanted, will the banks crash and I'll loose my money, I don't know how I coped I thought I was having heart attack when my cat died I reached for the phone my heart was so rapid but just in doing that it calmed down, distraction is the key for me I get anxious now about stuff but I find been at one with nature tending to my flowers walking round looking at them doing garden desine and planning my next project and DIY keeping busy everything is wonderful at least for a while, I hit a rough patch and swimming sorted that out, I feel you need a Holliday if can afford one I used to cd hypnosis before sleep in bed Paul mackenna is good take care of yourself look after your health the odd glass of wine is ok if in control but it can soon be a full bottle every night and just make you worst next day 🤗
