Hi - I have really bad health anxiety - fear of leaving my family by some horrible illness. I'm scared all the time.
I'm doing what I think is all the right things: therapy, meds, acupuncture, talking to my family.. And it is getting worse.
I woke up this morning I felt like my body was electric with fear & I was (am) sick to my stomach, crying..

I feel so alone with this, so completely desperate to get better and I don't know what else to do.

No, I live in the states but I have a good support system - it's just so hard that I'm convinced I have something that's going to take me from my family and I don't know how to get past it because I keep thinking "what if I'm right"
