I’m hitting rock bottom.

I’m hitting rock bottom. Every damn day is full of stress and anxiety.
This health anxiety is getting out of control for me. There’s 2 issues going on with me right now that I need to get checked out but I can’t grow the strength to do it, out of fear. I am convinced it’s going to bad news.
I can’t keep living like this, what’s the point. But I don’t want to leave this earth just yet. Does that even make sense?
I guess I am just venting here while I sit down, crying.

Is there anybody ou trust who can go with you to get these things checked out? I know it can be very hard at times. It cam seem like everything is going against us. It can make doing things very hard for us. Even the smallest of things. Be good to have that one person who you trust there with you for support.

Ive hit rock bottom too my friend. I'm utterly terrifyingly anticipating death at any time due to rabies. So many symptoms right now. I want to live but the terror and symptoms is overwhelming.

What disease in particular are you worried about? You can go get it checked out before it really gets you.

Yep, it's crazy how powerful a human mind can be.

You’re terrified to get checked out but anxiety is making your life unbearable. However there is a possibility that you get checked out and everything is OK. It may not feel that way right now but think back about how many other issues you’ve thought were serious, and how many actually turned out to be. Chances are you are fine or it’s something that is easily treatable. If you do nothing will your anxiety lower to a tolerable level? Probably not. I usually give myself a time limit, if my symptoms are still an issue after a certain amount of time (usually a few days to a few weeks depending) then I make an appointment. I usually end up going in once a year in addition to my annual check up. That means all the other things I might have worried about got better or went away entirely after the set time.

So you can either decide if you’ve waited long enough and get checked out or keep living with the anxiety that is making you miserable. Yes, reassurance seeking can become a bad habit, but if you can’t function because of the issue or your anxiety over it then get checked. But in the end you need to accept what the doctor says if they say it’s nothing to worry about.
