What do you do when health anxiety starts to take over?
The anxiety has been getting pretty bad, like to point where its' obviously affecting my job. I'm starting focus more more the anxiety stuff than work, and it's starting to cause problems at work. I've been going to psychologists off and on since I was around 18, I'm 35 now. None of them have been able to help. I've tried going to a phychristrist, and have been trying to out diffrent meds to find something that works with no luck.
I've been worried about moles turning bad off and on for years. Probably around 20 years ago, but lately my fear has come back and I've been worried about them a lot over the past month. I have a dermatologist appointment in a month and half and freaking out about it.
So I've been in a overall state of fear for the last month. It's been especially bad since yesterday where I found someone else younger than me was worried about his moles to point where he was removing them all. Turned out one of them was bad, and it looked normal other than the fact that I was growing. My moles have all been stable for years, but still panicking about them.
I guess part of it fear is that I want to find a wife, but have no luck with women. So when I do find one, I want to be sure I'm healthy and able to spend a long life with her. That might be the underlying fear the health fears.
