Worried now 😕

[Natsteveo]

So as you know had a diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma on Monday well had a letter today from hospital to say they will ring me with a appointment before 2 weeks..I know the quicker I get it done the better I just can't shift the fear of dread that knowing my luck its gonna be bad even though I know and been told its no biggy I just can't seem to shake this horrible feeling. I'm so fed up of this health anxiety now im always over thinking u just need to start doing some meditation or something I cant keep worrying about nothing its not good

I am a health care professional and they are right its no biggie. It is to us anxiety sufferers. I'm so sorry your dealing with this. I understand.

You are going to be just fine, I promise.

I hope you can do some meditation to calm your overall body because it will help.

[Natsteveo in reply to Jstbcuz]

Those self hypnosis ones help me a lot but I already meditate on a daily basis. It really does help

Going to give it a go today thankyou

[Agora1 in reply to Natsteveo]

Nat, as Arty stated, it does work xx

[Agora1 in reply to Artyhype]

Hi Artyhype, I too Meditate each and every day, several times a day.

Self Hypnosis and Affirmations are just two of my favorites. xx

[Artyhype in reply to Agora1]

[Want2BHappy3]

Don’t mean to seem ignorant, but is this a form of Cancer?

[Natsteveo in reply to Want2BHappy3]

Yes it is

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Natsteveo]

I wish You the BEST 🙏

No this is an anxiety forum

Anxiety affects us all in different ways

Some of us have Health anxiety

Some have other kinds of things that affects our anxiety

At the moment after having my heart attack my anxiety is focused on my heart

But whatever way our anxiety is affecting us if it be we fear cancer , heart issues ,covid , it comes down to the same feelings of not feeling we can cope as anxiety is taking over so we post and talk about whatever our fears are or troubles that are making us not able to cope

Some post we can related to as we are suffering the same and some we can't

I look for the posts I can relate to that will help support me and the one's I can't I just hope others on here will be able to help that person suffering as that is the common bond we all have suffering with anxiety whatever form it comes in x

[Natsteveo in reply to Hidden]

Hi lulu how are you doing sweetheart thanks for youre support I do hope you're recovering well after what you have been through

Love Nat xx

[Hidden in reply to Natsteveo]

Hello

I am collapsing to be honest

I am sat in constant fear hoping it will not happen again

I get out of puff , feel weak , 16 meds a day which is not doing the med fear any good , I am in a bad way and worried how I will deal with this

Thank you for asking x

[Natsteveo in reply to Hidden]

Bless you our lovely lulu I can only imagine this has put another terrible fear in you now but you must take your heart meds it will help you so much..it must be so scary lulu for you to have what you've gone through ...you're so brave of all our anxiety we suffer from we never think of our hearts do we really but when you suffer with health anxiety the fear is endless isnt it constantly..you're bound to think like this lulu id be the same xxx

[Hidden in reply to Natsteveo]

I have to take them if I don't I would have another one

They wanted to put stents in but my anxiety was so bad my BP would not stop down enough so that would have killed me so I am stuck with these meds

I am so weak , getting out of puff when I get up but there is a cardiac nurse who told me to sit put all weekend and next week she checks in with me and maybe everything I am feeling she will be able to tell me eit is normal

I am just hanging on here my head is a terrible mess

But at least we have each other for support no matter how are anxiety or what reasons it is affecting s the fear is still the same , let's hope we both get our issues sorted and that fear lessens x

[Natsteveo in reply to Hidden]

I totally agree with you..and sit all weekend dont do anything just try and relax I know its easier said than done

Nat xx

[Hidden in reply to Natsteveo]

I'm trying Nat but every pain or feeling I am getting I am in constant panic and I mean constant , I really don't think I will get over this

I feel so angry that I missed out on that little bit of reassurance of having stents put in all down to anxiety ! x

[Natsteveo in reply to Hidden]

Thats not youre fault anxiety kicked in babes and took over its hard to control we all kniw how hard it is to control. With you havi g anxiety its harder because of what you've been through because you need to try and be calm as possible but how can you do that when you're anxiety is through the roof plus the shock has probably subsided and you're more than likely thinking "woe what just happened " the reality alone is scary but you will grab this by the balls like you have everything else and you will nail it I know its very scary for you right now but you will get through it

[Hidden in reply to Natsteveo]

Hello

Thanks Nat

Hope you are right because I have to say I am struggling this time

I have read though that when this happens it is a shock for people without anxiety so I suppose me feeling as I do is no surprise as I already suffer with anxiety if that makes sense x

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Hidden]

Hi lulu, I don’t recall what My letter said? If I offended You I’m truly Sorry. Everyone on this site is dealing with anxiety in different forms and ways. I support everyone who’s going through this. 😷🙏

[Hidden in reply to Want2BHappy3]

Hello

Everything is fine well with the site maybe I am not dealing with the anxiety I am in from my heart attack

Thank you for your reply x

[Artyhype]

I had a basal removed from my nose. The scariest part is not knowing what they'll do. The dermatologist had to send me to a plastic surgeon after he removed it and medical situations are my phobia but the surgeon was super nice and they only shot me with Novocain so I was awake (pain free) and home in a few hours. I haven't had one since and it really wasn't a big deal (hind sight!)

[Natsteveo in reply to Artyhype]

Thanks so much for this ❤

[Hidden]

Hello

I can 1000 % understand you fear

But you are going to be just fine and you have so much support on here that will help you get through this and then I know you will support the next person as there will be one that is suffering the same and causing their anxiety to be out of control as that is how this all works

Thinking about you

Take Care x

[Natsteveo in reply to Hidden]

Thanks babes that is so true .

I will get through this as will you and like you say we can advice and support others who go through this too

Loads love Nat xx

[Hidden in reply to Natsteveo]

Yes because things of this nature is what makes our anxiety worse but then when we get support we can pass on to others that regretfully there will be how we got through it x

[Tonyhope]

Your so right it's nothing we can do in certain situations but pray. Worrying will only make it worst let me talk to GOD for you hold on....ok it's done. This world we live in is not right. But we all must love one another take care
