Anxiety really bad need help and advice

[Grey dolphin333]

Absolutely not. For me, I had to search deep and find what caused my anxiety. It was not physically or mentally...it was a life event. But for some people, its a bit deeper and they do not want to address the issue. This is not reflected at you, I am speaking in general.

I don’t know what it is but I’m scared of cancer that I might have stomach cancer because the way my stomach feels it’s all I can think about how can I address that

With health anxiety, unfortunately we think every pain, etc is related to some sort of disease..which the majority of time is not the case. The book Hope and Health for your Nerves helped me a lot with health anxiety. I still have it but its much better. I don't think Anxiety ever go completely away but we learn to handle it better...for some people with medication, therapy, reading, meditation, the Will and confidence to get better. I chose therapy, reading and the Will to want to get better day by day. Its a journey but once you make up your mine Anxiety is not going to control your life any longer.. you will get their. I know for many, easier said than done. I had it pretty bad years ago and I am a lot better now so I know it can get better. As I have stated, I still have my days especially with all my built up tension...but I am a lot better than I was. I am still a work in progress.

I am not a doctor but I don't think its stomach cancer. You will get better only if you want to get better. You have to make up in your mind that you WILL GET BETTER and you will. If the therapist is not a good fit for you, change therapist. How long have you been in therapy?

I know its not easy by no means but you will get through it. I would continue seeing the therapist, hopefully she will be able to help you. My therapist is a god-send...she helped me so much. I still see her from time to time.

The thing that scares me is that I don’t know what’s wrong without my stomach I just want it to get better I just feel embarrassed sometimes saying how I really feel but i am really

I think I read on one of your post that you have seen a doctor and everything was ok? Why do you feel embarrassed?

They were unsure just guessed ibs and just embarrassed to tell the therapist what I think is i Don’t know I don’t want to think I’m stupid I just feel embarrassed even though I am scared

 

[matisworried]

if you were truly unable to pass wind, you also wouldn't be able to have a bowel movement. with how long you say this has been going on, you would be hospitalized by now. you're stomach would be massively distended and you'd be in truly crippling pain.

so, basically, you're not being honest with your therapist. therapy will not be helpful if you can't be totally open and honest. how are they supposed to help you when they don't know what, exactly, is wrong with you?

No I’ve passed some but it’s a struggle to and no I’ve told her I just feel embarrassed when I do which I don’t know why maybe it’s because I’m kind of new to this whole therapy thing but I am telling her everything I’m back at the doctor and therapist again this week so I’ll tell them that I’m still scared about the thoughts of stomach cancer

It’s weird opening up to a stranger kind of like the fear of being judge even when they won’t it’s just new to me but I’m being honest them

Seeing the doctor and therapist again this week really hoping things go well and that nothing is seriously wrong really just want to get better would be worth working on ocd too

a lot of medical professionals think that health anxiety is closer related to ocd than anxiety so yes, it would be good to work on that as well.

Would that be causing the thoughts because I’m scared of stomach cancer would the ocd not help

some people have ocd that causes them to check locks 13 times before they can move on with their activities. some people have ocd that causes them to obsessively wash their hands. you have ocd that causes you to obsessively think/worry about your health.

you should be reading about ocd and anxiety with the same effort you googled your health symptoms,

I read about ocd and about having to accept your thoughts which is so Hard I’m just in this waiting period now where it’s so easy to think more about the thoughts

Also do you know how long referral will take or does it depend

...which is why you read more about anxiety and ocd! when you worry about having cancer, read about anxiety.

I’m honestly so scared and fed up my doctor mentioned going private for a ct scan and honestly I might just at this point I’m so scared of stomach cancer I just need to know for sure what is wrong me so I can better

...which is why you read more about anxiety and ocd! when you worry about having cancer, read about anxiety.

Also if you have low iron levels does that mean your anemic

Yes, headspace is a great app. Another one is called calm, both of them are guided meditation and mindfulness. They can help you to learn to calm yourself and look at situations differently. I would highly recommend something like that for you.

Hey I’ve got to possibly have ct scan is there a chance to could give you cancer
