Scared that i have cancer

[dawners]

Lately ive been stuck in the thought that i have leukemia or lymphima and i can't get past it, ive been having really bad fatigue for a Lil while, seeing soots in my vision and really bad confusion spells that have been going on for over 2 years i don't know what to do, I'm very scared

I’m so sorry you feel like that. I’m guessing you’ve been to the dr & you’ve been told it’s anxiety & they’ve probably taken bloods. The problem with health anxiety is that we always look for the worse possible outcome. I worry I’ve got MS & I’ve been told by numerous drs that I don’t but I just can’t believe it. We need to accept our symptoms are anxiety & slowly with time they will subside & we’ll mentally feel stronger. Take care & understand we all have these thoughts we just need to deal with them in the correct way. Xxxx

I don’t know what could possibly make you feel better but I have all those you speak of and more and I do not have cancer don’t let it give you these awful thoughts distract yourself and do whatever you have to.

Me too! , I thought like that when I was 14 all the way till I was 15! I was depressed for a year , I cried my self too sleep every night I couldn’t even get out of bed to even brush my hair & when I did my hair fell out but it’s Normal it wasn’t like chunks or anything but it’s because I wasn’t even brushing it , when I seen that I thought I had cancer and my hair was falling out , but I got checked I cried at the doctors office and all I wanted to do was sleep all day , my blood work and everything came out fine . But till this day I still think wrong about my heath or my daughters or someone close to me , I hate thinking so wrong but that’s what anxiety does ‘ it makes you think of the worst

Its just i feel these constant symptoms that won't go away no matter how much "reassurance" i get and it just kills me, i know that if it was cancer itv would have killed me by now, I've been dealing with it for over 3 and a half years.
