Hi everyone

[Gail10]

Hello,
It's hard to believe I am here... I have always had mild anxiety, but I feel as though it's progressed in to full blown anxiety over the past few months. I began having some health problems in March. I was tested for MS, Lupus, certain cancers etc...
Everything has come back normal, and now, instead of focusing on the fact that I most likely currently healthy, I am focused on all the tests I've had. I have anxiety that the CT scans I had could cause cancer.
I'm anxious over my health and that of my children, although they are fine! I am online constantly, researching things and I am finally giving in to the fact that I need some support and I need to get out of this funk!
Any help or information would be great!
Gail

Hi Gail, welcome to the forum!

I hope you find the information posted in the forum usefull.

I can relate to your focusing on health issues. I am one of those anxiety sufferers who does the same thing. I always think I am dying of some undiagnosed disease :) My best advise (and this has helped me) if you get sick or feel like there is something wrong health wise, do not do a search on the internet for the symptoms. This only makes things 100 times worse. Just go and see a doctor. By searching for certain health symptoms, you will stumble upon all sorts of horrible diseases which are most likely unrelated to you. This just makes things more stressful, and plants seeds in your head.

Cheers
