Hi
I have had health anxiety since 1996 when my Father died. I saw him suffer with liver and gallbladder cancer. I also saw my best friend of 52 yrs suffer with multiple myeloma she died in 2012.
Ever since then I have fears of getting sick n just this morning I had a horrible panic attack on the train. I joined this group for support and to learn how others are coping.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. Never a nice thing to see anybody suffer before death. My own father had a heart attack and dropped at my feet. Such things do stay with us. Very hard to forget them really. But we must remember that just because they died in a certain way, that does not mean we will die in the same way. Who knows how the end will come for us all. Hope you find some peace and some answers here on the forum.

Thank you for answering my post. It's a terrible disorder to have it drains everything out of me.

I hear you. Can take all your energy away. Just leave you feeling drained and tired. Those are the times we have to push back even harder. Never easy. But every small victory against our anxiety feels great.

Thank you everyone.
I am on my way to work and so far I feel ok.
Yesterday when I got to work I took a few minutes and do some deep breathing exercises n took 10 mi mindfulness meditation to relax. It worked. Hope everyone has a peaceful day.

Welcome Kittens. Its great when your workplace has a safe place for you to get centered. Sometimes I book a conference room for myself, bring some work in there, and get a meditation done before returning to the work. Another coworker actually started a weekly meditation group that's been going for 3 years. Everyone always says how glad they are they took the time for our little 15min YouTube guided meditation break. Its worth scheduling a day around!
