Why is it at night time all i do is just lay in bed thinking what could this be...could it be something serious..google any symptom possible to find the cause. I have tried so hard not to Google but I feel my anxiety gets worse when I don' then if I did and saw the worst case of my symptom my anxiety is worsens anyway...talk about a vicious cycle. I had blood test the other day and results showed my white blood level was elevated doctor said it' because I'm.fighting an infection which is my bladder...but can' help thinking what if it could be cancer
My husband and dog are sound asleep wish I could just go to bed and not worry...or should i be arrgghhhhh

Francesca-H learn from your dog in what peaceful, restful sleep looks like. Belly breathing and not a care in the world. He feels safe and secure. You need to also feel that peace and calm when going to bed. One of the ways is to prepare yourself for sleep at least 1 hour before going to bed by turning off all electronics and maybe quietly reading a book, taking a bath or listening to some quiet music.
Once in bed, I prefer putting on my headphones and toning down with a Relaxation Tape and Deep breathing myself to sleep. It takes away the stress of the day, quiets the mind and the body. Making you feel safe and secure. We can learn from our animals as well as infants who also sleep peacefully while they deep breathe. Wishing you a calming rest. xx
How can you possibly have cancer? You have anxiety disorder as you know and as you also know anxiety makes people think the worse of everything, it exaggerates our fears out of all proportion. If your doctor said the elevated white blood cell count was because you have an infection thst's exactly what it is. Forgive me if I've said this before but you can't cure an illness you don't hsve. So instead of worrying about an illness you don't have direct your attention to the illness you do have - anxiety disorder. Start to look for self help cures and discuss things with your doctor.
Well because I had a cough and cold 4 weeks ago and I still have a slight cough and my voice keeps going....ive woken up shaking feelibg sick convinced it could be throat cancer now....i know what u mean but it is sooooooo hard for me
I understand Francesca, a few years ago I had a cough for 3 months, finally the doctor sent me for a chest x-ray at Kingston Hospital. The wait of a few days for the result had me convincedit was lung cancer, the most anxious few days of my life. But it was all o.k., at least it made me give up smoking.
We all know that anxiety exaggerates our worries, some times for ourselves and sometimes for others around us. But it doesn't stop us worrying out of all proportion. But if we can relieve our nervous system of its over sensitivity and our jangled nerves return to normal then we can recover.
I must have mentioned to you before the book I'm always going on about, 'Self help for your nerves' by Claire Weekes, it really did help me on several occasions over a period of 40 years to recover from what was then called anxiety neurosis and frankly I've never come across a better understanding of anxiety and solution for recovery. But it does take persistance and patience and patience is something people with anxiety have in short supply.
Hiya...ive tried watching a film on the iPad and i just have fallen asleep in the end...woken up full of aniexty again though 😓...next time i will try a book
