All those symptoms you mention are well known expressions of anxiety. One of the things about anxiety disorder is that it exaggerates all our normal fears. So the normal concern that everybody has about not dying prematurely becomes magnified ten times over into an obsession that death is imminent. That jessicahill is the reason you think you're dying. So now you know you're not dying just accept the feeling as something of little importance.

In fact I suggest that you frame your mind to accept all those other symptoms you describe as well. They're not for real, all the tests you've had prove that beyond doubt, they're just glitches in your nervous system.So if you learn to Accept those symptoms as irritations but nothingto worry about then you give your over wrought nerves a rest and with rest comes recovery.

It's really scary I know when your anxious your more hyperaware of your body and any and every type of pain it's a nightmare along with any irrational thought about the pain it's self it's horrible

Your bf sounds exactly like my bf! Saying it's all in your head which yeah I believe it is but people like us with anxiety get to the point where we can't control it nd we get the physical symptoms that just don't seem to go away. No one understands unless they have been thru it themselves cos if they suffered with it at some point then they defo wouldn't dare tell us it was all in our head anymore. If we could control it that easy then we would cos none of us wants to live life feeling as bad as we do. We would love to feel normal again wouldn't we lol

You focus on yourself way too much. Unfortunately, the more you focus on your symptoms the more stronger they get. Paradoxically, in a big way you're telling your mind to come up with more and more symptoms. Your mind responds to your focus. First, accept the fact that you're dealing with anxiety symptoms. Second, consciously work hard on changing the focus away from yourself. It may take weeks or even months to complete healing but you will notice some positive results in a matter of days. Your biggest enemy are your own thoughts.

Yeah I think since i seen what I saw I'm obsessing about dying just because I know it can happen anytime and I'm freakin out And I don't want that to happen to me I'm going to try my hardest to put it all to the back of my mind

Are you afraid of dying because you feel you are so young and you have to accomplish that 'something' to prove that your life was meaningful? How do you create meaning in your life now? Do you need more time to feel more meaningful? Unfortunately, everyone will pass at some point. Nobody is special here and nobody gets the 'out of jail' pass. Not accepting laws of nature can give us a big headache

Just because you're here and now is a miracle in itself. Create a meaning in your life daily. Go and do something for others and see how that will make you feel. There are people out there with terminal cancer and yet they continue to live and service others. You are not terminally I'll with any disease. Live then!
