Anxiety for 2 years

I have an irrational fear of being sick. It has progressivly turned into generalised anxiety where everyday i fear im ill. Im very healthy and never get ill but last week i had my first sickness bug in 10 years. It wasnt as bad as i thought but now im constantly thinking am i ill again? Am i not? Do i feel sick? Dont i? Why did i get ill? Its driving me crazy. Im very anxious ive had all the help you can think of i cant be like this forever

Hi Beth, I suggest you make appoint with your gp. He or she may help you.

They only suggest medication. Thats the awnser to everything these days, i find talking about it helps and reasurence.

Hi Beth, your right about that. Yes, it is good too talk about it.

Hello beth, with your thought off illness thats the anxiety side of things talking. Not everyone has the same sort of help mechanism but there is one out there for everyone. If you keep your head up and try positive thinking things become easier. Try relaxing and spending some quality time with yourself. The trick being if your happy then everything else falls into place. It will take time to remove the negativity but life is like a grand national except when we jump the hurdles its not about winning but just finishing the race. Hope this gives some help but take care of yourself

Hi William

Thank you, your definitley right there. Positive thinking does help and apart from my anxiety lifes pretty rosey!! Its just those damn intrusive thoughts that creep back in.
