ANXIETY -How you cope?

[Marydel63]

Hi everyone, I havn’t posted in a long time , but I do read posts.

So I know my anxiety is over the top due to various issues.

I do see a therapist but wanted to know what others do?

Anxiety pre/post procedures

Anxiety awaiting results

Anxiety going to medical appts

Anxiety about what others think

Anxiety about catching Covid

Thanks in advance

Hello.I suffer with really bad anxiety it all started six I had six liver tumours found on my liver I’m only 26 although they’ve said likely benign I’m extremely worried they’ve misdiagnosed me I had my next mri in two weeks and I’m convinced it’s going to be bad results.

Hello Marydel63,

I am sure our forum members will share their experiences and tips.

I have included a link to the NHS information regarding health anxiety, some of the tools may be useful.

I can understand your anxiety, Covid hasn’t helped, and the shielding letters just terrify me. Before Covid I found going to yoga and meditation classes helped. I think it was partly being with a supportive group of people but also learning to breath properly. I try to live in the moment, focus on being fine right now, finding the positive things in life. My daughter recommends journaling. When I feel the tension creeping in I tell myself to breathe. I hope this helps x
