Feeling anxious and desperate

7 Replies

Thought I had symptoms s of motor neuron disease and went to see my GP and 7 visits to a neurologist. Still not reassured. Been on my iPad all night and I am convinced I have all the symptoms. Can't stop crying, do t no how I'll carry on, each day gets worse

Hi Holly, recently others have been having a discussion about google. Please try not to google symptoms they make everything 20 times worse (at least). I scared myself silly googling my meds, I didn't want to take them, well I did and everything is fine and I didn't have anything google told me I would have.

Go easy on yourself xxxx

Hi Holly

7 visits & they are saying you are ok , remember , it would be more than their job was worth to say that if they didnt believe you were

Please , dont Google , or you will feel just as you do

If I went on there & looked it up , because I have health anxiety , I bet I would come of believing I had got it , along with maybe some more things I hadnt thought about

For all that suffer with Health anxiety , its the worse thing we can do

Join the non Googling Ban on here , we encourage & support each other not to go on Google & we come on here & talk instead , it doesnt frighten you half as much !

Hope you are feeling a bit better now

Love

Whywhy's right Holly.

I have health anxiety and I scare myself silly Googling my symptoms. I've actually started off with one thing in mind and by the time I've Googled for an hour I'm worrying about a completely different disease.

I'm trying to resist Googling but it's hard.

Bramwell hits it right on head...I google heart palps and all of a sudden I've got every heart illness going.

It's just not worth googling things.

Dont do it,trust me,made my anxiety worse. Couldn't sleep at night,my iPad was the first thing I would grad during the night, it's a no no.

Had a bad day at work, on a mental health ward. Slept only 2 hours last night. Not eating. Going to see my GP tomorrow, let u know how I get on. Tell her I need stronger meds.

Thanks for all the support. Doctors booked me in for CBT. Told me I am ok but it takes a lot to convince me. Let you know how I get on
