Anxiety really bad need help and advice

[matisworried]

Maybe good idea I don’t do it regularly but I tend to do it when I feel a big surge of anxiety

i've found that it is very helpful to just remind myself of how much anxiety researching symptoms causes me.

if i get the urge (which i don't too often anymore) i'll often repeat to myself in my head "this is only going to make you more anxious."

That's a normal thing to want to do, but yeah, maybe not healthy. Is there someone who can help keep you accountable and keep you off Google so you don't check your symptoms?

Yeah good idea I’ve also struggled with the news on radio and tv

Just wondering how can a doctor feel tension in your head

Just wondering how can a doctor feel tension in your head

is that what you were told?

there is no way to measure tension to my knowledge. my guess is that the symptoms you relayed combined with testing/labs that were done indicated your issues were likely due to tension/stress.

Yeah they felt my head and said that I’ve had a big panic attack because I keep thinking about brain aneurysms so scared

there's no way to feel tension but it's pretty easy for them to narrow down causes based on your symptoms.

there's nothing to worry about. you've simply moved on from one health concern to the next which is something many of us have done. you just need to remember that that's all this is... another senseless concern.

It’s just such a set back I was doing better and now stressing again

I can absolutely relate. I spent months with severe health anxiety. It started with chest pain and just went from there. By the time it was over I had believed at one point that I had every disease and disorder known to man. I had a weird pain in the upper part of my stomach and for months I thought it was my pancreas, headaches meant brain tumors, back pain was kidney failure, etc. it went on and on to the point that even if I wasn’t actively thinking about it I still felt the anxiety 24/7. That’s how I learned that being anxious causes the symptoms and then the symptoms make you more anxious. Once you’re in that cycle it’s very hard to get out. The only thing you can do is calm yourself down, if you give your mind and body a break from the anxiety gradually it will lessen and the symptoms will lessen with it.

I’m glad to hear that you’ll be seeing a therapist, just be completely honest with them, don’t hold back. Whatever they tell you, even if it seems stupid or pointless just listen to them. I know that I have done some strange things that were suggested to me but they helped.

Ugh, I’m going through this right now . It is so exhausting and I just want to feel better.

Keep getting thinking how the symptoms for that were pain behind eye and above headaches and I have similar symptoms so now I’m scared plus they haven’t gone away yet
