I helped a friend move today and i swear i almost had a anxiety attack which ive never had. It was quite an overwhelming feeling. It kinda came on when my friend commented that i was looking skinny, This brought me back to my health anxiety. And my googling
. Symptoms for cancer always weight lose! God the what ifs kill me. Like what if i am loosing weight? What if the doctors missed something when i had my labs? I just dont want to be this way. Of course i know one day ill prob get sick and die. I just dont know why i cant get it out of my head now. I stay in shape. I eat well when i have an appetite. I dont smoke. No history in my family history. WTF! I feel so weak and not myself.
Try to relax really take a seat and breathe. The world around us moves so fast it knocks us to our knees. I know how you feel overwhelmed just try to relax
just laugh it off and say somthing witty in return like your only jelous or somthing on thoose lines,try to just see the funny side to everything then you never know you might start having a laugh
Hi Pipboy - I was a skinny person and people would say all sorts of things. You can't imagine what it was like when AIDS came along and people assumed I must be ill because I was skinny. They were wrong, of course. If you have anxieties about whether your ill, listen to your body. Is it aching? Are there recurring or constant pains? Are you listless? Unable to keep food down? Are there any lumps or bumps where they shouldn't be? Any ulcerations, bleeding, festering sores? Hair falling out in handfuls? Mucus discharge from eyes, ears etc? No? Then your fine. If you still can't accept that, get a thorough medical check. If this is all in your head, then see a psychologist. Illness and death are a part of life. Perfectly natural.
Now, in my middle years, I have plumped out a little and it looks good. Some of those who insulted my body type decades ago are now big and fat. We all get broader when we age. Enjoy your lithe, agile body and don't listen to what other say. they're probably jealous.
