Does anybody want to talk about there aniexty today. I'm new to this today but think talking to other people with aniexty is really helping

Hello & Welcome

Good for you doing a post hopefully getting people to talk about how they feel

It can be good to talk about how anxiety affects you & when you get others relating to how you feel it helps to know you are not alone which can make you feel less anxious just knowing that , also with good advise it can also help us move forward with our anxiety and then we can also pass that advise on to the next person that comes on feeling so afraid as that it was anxiety is fear but one we can overcome with a little understanding

How are you today ?

Hope you are feeling well

Take Care x

I was bad this morning but feeling a bit better now

[Hidden in reply to Michael83]

Oh that is good to hear

For some we can sometimes have different parts of the day where we feel worse than others but if we look back when we are feeling better as the day goes on then it shows us that we do pass through the difficult times & if we feel bad again it is good to try & keep hold of that thought that it will pass

I hope the rest of your day is very peaceful x

I have just been looking at your post you did previous , it sounds like you have some kind of health anxiety and you are focusing on your heart , when we have Health Anxiety we can either focus on one thing or several

Try & be reassured that you have had all the tests done & everything is fine , I am sure they would have picked up on something had there been anything to pick up on , so try staying focused on that thought when the fear comes in

Has anything happened that you may feel could have triggered this ?

Maybe not as sometimes it can start without us ever knowing why and sometimes it can be best not questioning why but to make sure we start to deal with these feelings , easier said than done but with support you can

I know you have spoken to your Doctor but maybe some kind of counselling may help as well as talking to others , it is worth maybe next time you go if you are still feeling as bad to ask what kind of support they can offer you

Thanks tigger. Just by looking at my posta would you agree with the doctors. I presume your not a doctor....do you suffer with aniexty

[Hidden in reply to Michael83]

No I am not a Doctor & even if I were none of us can diagnose each other on here but I have spent years going to the Doctors & wasted years worrying about my health & my first worry was I was going to have a heart attack and then after years of that worry I moved on to a brain tumor , in fact you name it my anxiety head has had it all & some that I don't think even the medical profession has come across ....but I think what we have to do is trust our Doctors ...again I know never easy when we have this fear but we have to tell ourselves or ask ourselves why would they lie to us when they are professionals and that is why we go to see them in the first place ...so with that thought I would trust what your Doctor has told you

My anxiety is a lot better than it used to be & it all comes down to training your brain to re think as it gets into such a negative state that we have to practice reversing it but you can & will ...give yourself time

When you get these fears instead of thinking the worse tell yourself I know what you are you are anxiety and let the fear come and then go again knowing that it will pass and all the worse scenarios your head wants to tell you won't happen x

Thanks. You are really helping me today and making me see things in a different light. I feel i can relate to what your saying and I'm finding that this is helping me get through the day. Are you UK (nhs) if you dont mind me asking

[Hidden in reply to Michael83]

Yes I am in the UK so have the nhs & you ? x

[Michael83]

Yes uk. I think one of my fears is that maybe the dr or xrays have missed something. You hear about it all the time. I think the worst thing I did was search on google. It has instantly made it 100% worse i think.
