Anxiety really bad need help and advice

[Grey dolphin333]

I can’t say how long it will take for an appointment. That depends on the doctor and the insurance. They can generally diagnose anything, if there’s anything in there like cysts they will be able to see them as well as anything else that isn’t right.

I do highly doubt that it’s anything serious however.

I just feel so depressed about this whole situation like I get over one thing then I feel like another thing comes along thing that concerns me is if it could be something to do with my bowls or colons like it might cancer of them and then that would need another test I’m just so fed up of being scared I just wish I knew what was wrong so I could just get better and stop panicking because it’s a nightmare at the moment

the primary problem seems to be your anxiety and your inability to manage it. are you still googling your symptoms or reading up on diseases? you'll never get better if you can't get that under control. i really can't stress that enough. you need to break the cycle of worry/reassurance/worry. if i could give you any advice, it would be to focus your energy on your mental health instead of your physical health. if you don't, both will suffer.

i hesitate to even address your medical concerns because i don't want to fuel your anxiety and i have little hope it'll make you feel better, but you are decades too young to have either of the cancers you are concerned about. also, the cancers you're concerned about generally don't cause visible lumps. to go one stop further, most cancers don't cause visible growths. lastly... it's only been a few weeks since you were worried about completely different cancers. what do you think the odds are that you suddenly have a totally different deadly disease festering in you? my guess would be slim to none.

it is not your fault you were born with anxiety but it's your responsibility to treat it. you are not powerless and you have the strength inside of you to get better but you have to take control and make changes. things won't magically get better and go away on their own! YOU CAN DO IT!

your reply sorta proves my point: your response is almost all about disease and what could physically be wrong with you. if you address your mental health, i'd bet that the majority of your physical symptoms would disappear.

I'm so sorry you're still experiencing issues. I truly wish you peace and good health!! I am in the same boat , one weird symptom after another. It's so hard to get out of your head about your health!! I have so many things happening I'm starting to give up and just suffer with the ailments. Everyone thinks I'm making these symptoms up anyway. So hard to go to work daily full time and raise my 5 kids and pretend I'm "normal". My sleep sucks, my quality of life sucks even worse. I just want my old self back, even just a few months ago

Try this: Get a blank piece of paper and create four columns. The first column is triggering event. The second column is emotions. Third column is thoughts, Fourth column is behaviors. Write down the triggering event that caused this avalanche of fear and anxiety. Don't have to generalize, just pick one, like pressing on your side. Then skip to the fourth column. Write down how it made you behave. Then go back to the second column, write down the emotions it caused, then go to the third column and write down the thoughts this made you have. Then go back to the fourth column and write down what your desired behavior would have been when the triggering event occurred. For example, one might have desired that they would have shrugged it off and gone about their day. I am beginning to try this, and I imagine the point of it is to get you to break down the behavior analytically and look at it piece by piece, so you can see it bluntly. Maybe it'll help.

I’m scared for my ultrasound I’m just scared about this whole situation I’m praying it’s nothing serious that’s wrong I just don’t what to do I’m so scared I keep panicking and my anxiety is so Bad I just really don’t want it to be cancer like I’m so scared about the thought of ovarian cancer honestly just hope whatever is wrong with me is something not serious and easily treated because Im only young I just want to get better and get back normal im just so scared

If this lump is big is enough for you to feel it from the outside, and it was serious, then it would’ve had to have been growing over time. Tumors (malignant ones anyway) take a very long time to grow before they are detected/felt. That’s why people with family of breast cancer need to get frequent screening. Cancer can be detected almost years before you feel a “lump.” The fact that this is more recent tells me it’s not serious. Something would’ve showed up in your recent tests. I’m thinking it’s inflammation of some sort. Working out recently? Are you sure a lump is really even there (not patronizing you)? Sometimes when I freak out about my lymph nodes (I’m a sufferer of health anxiety myself), it’ll feel like one is larger than the other when in reality it’s just in my head.


I would also like to point out that sometimes people just have lumps! Lol the ones that “grow recently” are most usually the ones you have nothing to worry about. If this was something serious you would’ve seen something on your last tests. Even if they were a month ago. Relax. I’m here if you need to talk.

[Grey dolphin333]

Don’t panic. You are having a relapse, it happens. Every one of us has ups and downs, good days and bad. The biggest thing is this, you were doing well with the issues you were having, now something else has restarted the cycle. Use the same methods to get past this as you did the previous problems. Just relax, reassure yourself, and try to calm yourself down. If you need to, go to the hospital let them do some checks on you and make sure everything is ok. It’s just your mind playing tricks on you.

Is there Any more advice you could give me I’ve got myself so worked up about this I just need help to calm me down but don’t know anymore

Go to google. Search for 3 things.

- anxiety breathing techniwues
- progressive muscle relaxafion
- guided meditation

Start doing those daily, multiple times if you need to. You also need to talk to your doctor about this anxiety. I know that you saw them about the pain and the other issues but you didn’t mention whether you told them about the anxiety. If you didn’t, you need to and if you did, are they treating you? If not, why not?

You have mentioned seeing a therapist, that’s great! However, you most likely need some medication as well. When the anxiety levels get as high as yours are the natural order of things in the body can be disturbed and sometimes it takes medication to bring it back to normal. I would say that something like buspar, or a mild anti depressant would help you a lot. If the doctor is ok with it possibly a benzo like Ativan or Klonopin as well.

You’re in a bad place right now, a dark place. I promise you though, you will get through it. Things will get better, you will be you again. Right now you just have to put in the work, look up the things I mentioned and start doing them. Understand that at first they may help but won’t do a lot. You have to do them often and with practice you will be better at them and they will be more effective. You also need to speak with your doctor again, make sure that they are giving you proper treatment.

I have told them about the anxiety they gave someone last time but didn’t help very much as I also have ocd it’s just these pains I’m getting are scaring me and I can’t stop thinking that it might be something serious like I have to go for an ultrasound soon and I’m scared

I understand, I’ve been there. Terrified all the time about every little sensation in my body. Reading symptoms and trying to rationalize that I couldn’t have that but then being convinced that I did. This is a cycle, a cycle that you have to break. Start working on the things I mentioned, those things can help you to calm your body and mind and escape from the anxiety. If the medication your doctor gave you didn’t help tell them, you may need something different. There is no reason for someone to have to suffer through this, the doctor has a responsibility to help you.

I’m just honestly so scared I just feel like I need reassurance all the time I just want to get better and like I’ve been told about the breathing things and distractions but they only work for so long and then i break down again I’ve never felt so scared before be honest with me do you think it’s something serious

No, I don’t think it’s anything serious. As I mentioned, I’ve been there. I have felt like I was dying and there was nothing that would stop it. The only way out of that is to believe your doctors. You may still feel like something is wrong but the tests are good and the doctor isn’t worried, that’s what you have to rely on.

You have to them calm yourself, all of the things that were saying to you, the meditation, relaxation, all of that. It takes time, you have to stick with it. If you do it and it helps but the the anxiety comes back it just means that you need to do it again. Do it as much as you need to.

You will be ok, physically and mentally. Just let the doctor know how bad the anxiety really is and make sure that they are treating it in the best way for you.

I would also say that a "worry time" exercise may help you. I have been doing that recently and it has made a difference for me. As with anything anxiety related it takes time to start really working but what you do is this. When something enters your mind, postpone it. Don't brush it away, don't force yourself to think of something else, etc because that can cause the thoughts to come back more intense later. Instead what you do is tell yourself things like "not right now" or "I'll worry about this later" and then you set a time each day, pick 10-20 minutes and at that time sit somewhere comfortable and let the thoughts happen. Let the bad stuff in, let the worry get to you, give it it's voice and when the time is up stop thinking about it. If the thought pops in your head again say "not right now" again, it takes time for this to be effective but it does work. The hardest thing is turning it off after you've allowed yourself to worry but, you can do it. If you give the worry it's time to be heard you will be amazed how little it bothers you through the day. Also, it doesn't matter if you have to tell yourself once or a thousand times that you'll worry about it later, all that matters is that you keep doing it and don't allow the worry to consume you.

It’s just hard because the pain in my left side is getting worse almost like a stabbing pain which is hard To not focus on I find that the pain triggers my anxiety like I’m alright one minute and then the next I might feel something and then panic i just struggle to get the thought out of my head is there Anyway that this could be Kidney stones

Here’s the thing. You are healthy. Everything you have said, every symptom that you have mentioned can all be attributed to anxiety. Does that mean 100% that nothing else is wrong? No. However, it does mean that there is a 99% chance that you are just fine. You have just stressed your body so much with the worrying that you are only creating more symptoms to worry about.

Trust me, when I went through health anxiety at some point I believed that I had everything from heart desease, cancer, strokes, anytisims, aids, tumors, eye diseases, lung diseases, etc. when I finally went to the doctor about it I had 2 pages of symptoms that I was experiencing. He looked at me like I was nuts! Then, he put me on medication for anxiety and within a short time every single item on that symptom list had vanished and now, nearly 10 years later I’m still here. I might also add that each time I go for a physical everything is perfect. I went from knowing without a doubt that I had a major disease and was going to die to having excellent health. Is all a matter of getting the right treatment and following a plan to lower your anxiety levels.
