Anxiety at a high due to health problems

I am back again. Anxiety this last year has been up and down but now its through the roof. I am back to not sleeping, unable to concentrate, chest tight constantly feeling on edge and emotional. I cant cope and feel like i could scream. This is all due to going to the doctors a few weeks ago because i am bleeding after sex. Well its no better so tomoz morning i am ringing the doctor. But my anxiety is through the roof so i am worked up and convinced myself i have cancer.

Hi. Try to calm yourself down. There are many reasons this could he happening. Your Dr will talk through them with you and do any tests they feel are appropriate. You are dealing with your medical issue not hiding from it which is brave. Don't let that stress voice take control.of your common sense voice x

Hi thanks for the advice Joanne. I am defo trying to do this. Going to ring the doctors tomoz and get an appointment. I am trying to stay positive and remind myself it could be happening for many reasons. On a positive i had a smear dec that came back fine x

Hi. That's great news. I have been there. Not wanting to go out for rear of a anxiety or panic attack. Not sleeping or eating and feeling very low. You can get better but it's not easy. I still have bad times but I find with the help.of meds and a stress from course I am.on I can deal with it better. Stress anxiety and panic will never be cured. We have to find our way of coping with it. I do need my meds but I believe therapy etc is going to be the best way to confront and deal with it. We have to train our brains to react in a different way. For now do what makes you feel safe and comfortable. Do you have support around You?? X

Thabks hun. I have many bouts of counselling and cbt which have helped slightly. I have refused medication but am thinking about trying cbt oil as i have heard good things about it. I dont discuss how i feel with many people as they just think i am being silly or over the top x

That's a shame. If they knew how bad it felt thetvwoupd never think that. Have a chat with your Dr tomorrow x
