Hi Nyda, ring up your doctors and ask for a copy of your results. The receptionist will print you off a copy. You can check them yourself. You may be just within normal range on some of them. In which case you can change your diet and use supplements. It's important to look for yourself as you can learn a lot from them😀👍

That's the thing about anxiety, it keeps you doubting yourself all the time. Is that just irritation on my tongue, or is it cancer <gasp> . Is that a gas pain, or pancreatic problems> <gasp> Is that a tired muscle, or neuron-diesease? <gasp>

I still struggle with the anxiety circle of doubt, but I'm doing better. This is mostly in part because my wife recently developed two rare diseases: ITP, and Vulvodynia. (She's just that lucky). Neither are life-threatening though. The point is what I saw when she was first showing signs of being sick. There was absolutely, without a doubt, 1000%, signs of her being ill. They didn't get worse some days, and then good on others. No, she started bruising and feeling pain and it just got worse from that point on...no matter what.

That's what true illness is. It stares you in the face and gives you no doubt that you are sick. Anxiety is unclear and hazy with it's illness symptoms. "You say to yourself:Maybe it's anxiety stuff, or maybe it's really something showing early??. If you're having that conversation with yourself then it's more likely it's your health anxiety.

As always, go to the doc. Make sure you're ok. But if they tell you that you're ok you must believe them. The anxiety circle doesn't stop until you stop feeding it! You have to truly believe you're ok.

Focus on living healthier and being active. Center yourself around caring and loving people. Practice mindfullness. Love yourself and forgive yourself for having anxiety. It's not your fault and you can get past it.

Best regards,

It's not hard to believe it's all anxiety. Anxiety is one powerful thing, don't underestimate it.

It's just hard to accecpt it's anxiety. Accepting it's only anxiety and moving away from the fear is the hardest part.

I hate it too. What keeps me going is that I know I belong to God and nothing happens to me unless He permits it. This week I am feeling like I'm losing my mind, control of my speech, and just in a fog, generally. I am still being social, functioning at church and with family, but keeping the way I feel between me and God. In the past I have seen a therapist which helped. I know my problem and I am asking God for help. I am trying not to do things in my own strength and trying to fix everything myself. I am trying not to be concerned about what people feel about me and trying not to worry about doing everything so I don't get criticized. You are not alone and not crazy...just overthinking.

Believe me I feel you and understand I can't live my life without me thinking something bad is about to happen. And these chest pains I can't deal with at all.

I truly understand first hand. I get rid of one symptom & another one comes along. You think I've never had this before & it wasn't happening at the doctors or when I went the last time. So for me it sets my mind off again thinking here we go is this going to be something horrible, will I have a heart attack? I'm so sick of it I had no issues up until last year. Not one & since then I've been a mess. Have some good days but most I'm overthinking everything & anything every little ache & pain. Some days I feel like I can't breathe. I definitely have chest anxiety I feel it like 80% of the the time. This week or should I say for about the past month I've had a twitching feeling in my stomach. It always starts during the afternoon & when I'm sitting down or at rest. This is worrying me so I'm going to have to get checked out for this now. I wish you all well. 😊
