Hypochondria is going to kill me

labourg · Post by **labourg** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 12:22 am

Anybody have any tips on how to push through this hypochondria? I cannot accept that all of these symptoms can really be from anxiety! Here is my list:
-Dizziness/lightheadedness/off balance
-UNREALITY!!
-Heart palpitations
-IBS
-Always scared that I am going to pass out/die
-Fear of dying
-Fear of having to be taken by ambulance
-Feel like I am crazy
-muscle tension in back/neck
-headaches/migraines
-feelings of impending doom
-ALWAYS ON EDGE!!
-numbness/tingling
-vision problems--floaters
-FEELING SPACY!!

I feel like I am at the end of my rope! I have been fearing being sick for almost 4 years now. I just feel like I don't know where to turn. My mind is just always on. Is this really anxiety or is there really something wrong with me? I can't get this out of my head!! Anyone have any tips because I just can't break out of this! I feel like if I can get past these symptoms, maybe I can start living again....thanks!!

Hi! Yep, it's anxiety. I mean, always talk to your doctor, but these are typical symptoms. I experience every single one almost every day for the last week. It sucks! The only thing that saves me is knowing that it IS anxiety, that it WILL go away (has before) and that I AM seeking help for it because I can't do it by myself and don't you try to, either. That's what we're all here for, support. Make sure you talk to your doctor, a friend, someone who will listen and help you get where you need to go with this!

Hi labourg

,
I pray that you can trust me when I tell you that I had every symptom listed above and more!!! You are definitely having "anxiety" symptoms!!!

You can over come these body symptoms, but you must work on feeling better daily!!!

I prayed and asked Jesus to bless the program to help me overcome these things, and HE did just that!!!

If I can overcome agoraphobia, after living with it for 21 years of my life, then, I am VERY CERTAIN THAT YOU CAN ALSO!!!

Remember Fear is just "false evidence appearing real"

There really is nothing wrong with you and you are doing these things to your own self by your negative way of thinking, and your attitude towards life!!!

My heart cries out for you, because I have been there and done that, and it is sooooo difficult living one's life in fear!!!

I pray that God blesses you tremendously on your journey to recovery!!!
