Feel so scared

[sam27]

I really need help!!!!

I suffer with health anxiety and scared so much of leaving my daughter.I gave suffered with it fir 4years now but iam convinced my liver is damaged.I went through sheer panic in June and the drs gave me a blood test and all came back fine.But do blood tests show everything up about a liver,they don't.Having dull aches there too which are a constant reminder.Iam booked in st the drs as I want a scan but scared stiff about finding out what it is.I have envisioned telling my family my life will be cut short,I look at my daughter and imagine her life with out me.I cry all the time.This isnt the real me.Iam 32 and just want to be happy.Iam so scared 😥

Health anxiety is the worst. I honestly think it is one of the most misunderstood anxiety disorders in terms of it’s impact on a person’s quality of life.

You are not dying. I know that’s easy for me to say and so very hard to believe. Have you sought mental health support for this?

I have self referred myself to a counsellor so awaiting to hear from them but that will hopefully only calm my anxiety side of things which is hard as iam terrified and its ruling my life X

I am in the exact state as you...went for test and still think something is wrong with me.

I was recently diagnosed with this and it isn't pleasant. Mine was based on having prostate issues, was convinced it was cancer. After going for numerous tests, specialist appointments over 2 years they have still found nothing.

I think it has slowly started to dawn on me that it is actually myself and my anxiety that amplifies these feelings. I still feel discomfort but are minds are very powerful and can manifest symptoms that feel worse.

It's hard to give advice as to deal with these as people dont understand, but speaking to a therapist did help and would highly recommend.

Hope you start to feel better soon

Liver function blood test shows if there’s a problem....the liver is very good at healing itself

Blood work would show any abnormal functions or anything worth moving forward with further diagnosis. I'm sure you'll be ok....trust me I'm going through many physical symptoms internally and all my results are normal. I'm almost convince everytime that these doctors are missing something, on the other hand i just gotta learn to trust in their advice and findings for they are the ones who studied in medical and not me...i have little ones to 2,6 and 8 year old. I'm 33 years old not far from you so I understand how you feel. I dont think your life is cut short I just think our lives are opposite of that..its stalling but with bumpy roads and mountains to climb. So keep rollin and keep climbing because I know on the other side jesus has something good for all of us....🙏

It’s really awful isn’t it, bloods would show up if there was a problem with your liver, I had mine tested recently as I have gallstones and that can cause damage to your liver. I have health anxiety and have 5 children and I’m exactly the same couldn’t bare the thought of them being without me, health anxiety does horrible things to you, hope your ok
