Health anxiety made worse by lingering depression..

[Grace360]

It's already hard enough to deal with the nearly, over 200 symptoms just associated with anxiety. And then I have depression, or major depressive on top of that. Depression/anxiety, I forget, is making me wake up with my body feeling weak. Which in turn has my anxiety acting up, thinking that somethings wrong with me. Like things are shutting down in my body or something. Which makes me worry more. Also symptoms here and there I've been feeling. Brain fog. Zoning out. A LOT. I do it a lot more than I used to, which scares me. Lots of heart palps and all but.. that's gonna be a given. I just don't know, which scares me. I've had my tests done. Multiple blood tests, chest x ray, lots of EKG, even a CT of my head. But I always worry about the what ifs and the "they definitely forgot something. You have stage 4 of a super rare cancer that they didn't catch. Sorry!"
I'm only 15. I've been told numerous times to not worry about it so much. But yet, here I am. Worrying more.

The unknown will always make you worry. By that I mean you are unsure of what is happening. If it was something really bad you would have seen early signs of it by now. I think we can rule out about 98% of serious medical conditions. If it was any of them you would not be posting on a forum, you would be in hospital. You have to learn to start trusting in your doctors. I get clear blood tests I am over the moon with delight. As are most of us on here. There is no other way to prove to you that there is nothing seriously wrong with you. Anxiety and depression is exactly what it is. You just have an overactive mind. One you need to learn how to control.
