since i was a young kid iv always worried about things and mainly health issues, i remember one of the fist things i was worried about is my coller bone....i thought it was a tumer...i was 9 yrs old!!! im now 23 from uk and stil im pretty much the same, always worrying about health issues, if i have a headache iŽl think what if its a hemerage, if its stomache ach iŽl think what if its cancer basically just everything and anything the list goes on. my main fear which i want help with is that i constantly worry thinking i have something wrong with my heart, iv been like this for years so have done a fair bit of research and also seen a councelor for a while so i no anxiety does effect the heart, like i get chest pains alot but most the time that turns out to be trapped wind but is so very scary, i focus on my heart beat and my breathing and sometime theyŽre out of sink with each other, iŽl get pins and needles and sometimes pains in my arms which all are so very very terrifying for me, so as u can imagine i worry about having heart problems/heart attack- which then causes me to focus on this, which then gets me worrying which then causes al these things to happen, and it happens very often and especialy 10 times worse if its the day after a heavy night out. im just sick of living my life in fear, noone seems to underdstand, a few friends and family no what im like but no way to the extent of what im really like. i just wana no that im not alone cos i really do feel so lonely in the world, i want to no why im like this and is there really anything that can help me...im 23 should i really stil be like this? iv never taken anything for it mainly again cos of the reason that as soon as id take something id panick and worry what it wil do to me, im constantly online googling things to try and reasure myself, bought self help books but always slip back into my ways. im always so so scared and really just dont no what to do anymore :( please help me
