racing thoughts and worrying...
Hi
Your mum and GF are right, you should be trying to focus on yourself a lot more I know its hard but the only way you will get over your fears is by concentrating on you. I know radiation is a scary thing but I think the media would have been on to it if there were any truth in the rumour not to mention your president. Try and calm down.
Best wishes Kenny

Hi
Have you tried to find out if there are any self help groups in your area, you may find it helps if there are others nearby that share your fears it really does help to talk about it.

Hi
I've read about this radiation in the west coast and although they have found traces of it, it is lower than what you would get naturally in nature anyway by way of X-Rays, and eating potassium rich foods which have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes.
I think you are getting yourself worked up into a frenzy over nothing. I know it is easy for me to say bit your body is probably more at harm sitting in traffic breathing in car fumes which I bet you do everyday without even worrying about it.
Try and not stress

thank you ashley for your support, I've just been having these weird symptoms lately and I'm freaking out about them and a bunch of people on Facebook are posting so much about this fukishima radiation stuff :/ I'm so scared about the whole thing...
It's not problem at all.
Listen I read some amount of bull on Facebook and I used to believe it until I started reading into things myself and found out more or less everything you see on Facebook is fake. Trust me about the radiation. If I seriously thought you was in any danger I wouldn't lie to you on here.
Try and find someone to talk to and it will make you feel better I'm sure of it.

I will im kinda scared too tell them what I'm really thinking like they will think I'm crazy or something haha
Hi
No try not to be afraid
You must tell them everything & they wont think you are crazy believe me they will have heard it all before but if you don't tell them exactly how it is they cant give you the best help & support so it is important to let them know
