im at a weird point where im trying to talk myself out of anxiety. not so much talk myself out, but really just assure myself that my symptoms are anxiety, and not things like brain tumors, testicular cancer, strokes, or MS. these are things i think about probably 80% of my day, and and always convinced i have at LEAST one of them.
so, its been four years now, and ive thought ive had a brain tumor this whole time, and its controlling all of my problems (twitches, weird head pressure, buzzing feelings in legs, mood swings, ect). ive gotten to a point where i have symptoms without panic attacks (no fast heart rate, no actual panic, but the symptoms remain in full. i can causally be having a conversation, even laughing, and secretly be in agony over thinking death is near.
so my question is, how can i be having symptoms almost 80% of my day with no actual "panic"? couldnt these be caused by a serious medical issue, and im jut told it was anxiety? ive gotten massive bloodwork and numerous checkups (no imaging yet) i just dont understand how anxiety can be so physcial.
