Mind over body

[AnnaRose322]

Hey everyone.

I’m relatively new to this community. I’ve been battling health anxiety for a little while now, but I feel as though I am getting better a little bit at a time. Up until recently I haven’t been able to control my panic attacks that accompany the thoughts I have about being sick. I’ve been able to ignore it and not let it interfere with my life. I use apps to track my anxiety. I try to be okay and I’ve felt much better. Until tonight. I’ve been having some mild tailbone pain for a couple of days. The little voice in my head nagged at me until I finally got online to google it. It could be nothing. It could be a rare bone cancer. That one, surprisingly doesn’t worry me. This does though: while I was poking around google, I read that tailbone pain can be a sign of colon cancer. My mind has latched onto it. I just had an appointment last week to go over all of my health anxieties. I don’t want to go back with this new one. I want to keep feeling better. Part of me thinks it only aches because I saw an unstageable sacral ulcer last week and now my brain constantly thinks I can feel one forming on me.

That's not all there is to it though...tailbone pain is accompanied by years of loss of appetite, mucus in stool ,blood in stool. This is cancer sweetie and your body is going to warn you with more than 1 sign sweetie. If your worried though....go get a colonoscopy. Better safe than sorry but, I think your fine though.

Sensibly, I agree with you about being fine. My head latches on to one symptom and then sends off sirens that normally would have me extremely worked up. But I lit some lavender incense and am currently working on a puzzle. If I tell myself I’m fine, I feel it. It’s just difficult to remind yourself to tell yourself that usually, you know?

I do know...I really do. When I have to ride in a car for more than 10 min...I freak out. Anxiety is hard... I guess we just have to live day by day no matter what.

That is the whole part of it. If we tell ourselves something, eventually our subconscious believes it and it happens. Thoughts are energy and that energy goes out as a vibration, searches for it's similar and attaches itself then springs right back to the individual. So energy is sticky. When it has attached itself to more of the same and springs back, of course, it is bigger than when it came out.

It is the law of attraction. If we tell ourselves constantly that we are sick, we will get sick. But I do agree with you it is really hard to remember to think positive all the time. I listen to subliminal's to help me along and they seem to work very well with me.
