Hi Charliee, sounds like your struggling with health anxiety quite badly. 

There is help for this and your GP should be the person to sort things for you such as medication and CBT, but it sounds like your not being taken seriously.

Telling you to relax is soooo dismissive and totally unacceptable.

Make an appointment with your GP and when there tell s/he that you are suffering from health anxiety and you want help to get this under control.

If you get no joy write to the practice manager.

I do hope you get the treatment you deserve.

Hi Charlie you are not done you are just starting.Get back to your doctor and tell him you need therapy for health anxiety.Don't take any nonsense from them.You need to get the support you need.Do worry about your girlfriend and family sadly they don't know how to help you so get someone who can.Also don't just be sent home with medication as you need therapy as well.

I meant do not worry about your girlfriend etc.Sorry about that.

Sorry your doc was so dismissive. Go back and if he tells you to relax tell him you need his help to find a therapist or counciling at the very least, there's so much help these days you shouldn't be fobbed off like this . Lots of people here worry themselves sick , there are people here who can reasure you they have felt as bad as you but you need medical reasurance as well. Your girlfriend probably doesn't know how to help. My family and hubby didn't understand as I feel nobody can unless they know how crap this feels. They would help if they could but just don't know what to say to make it better so we take it to heart and feel as though they are being a little dismissive' they do care' please see your doc again and tell them just how down you are, vent here any time ,it helps, people understand❤️

There's no quick fix when it comes to health anxiety as I suffer also and just like you happy life one min and the next stuck with constant anxiety been this way for 7 months some days I can pull it together better than others.. I have my faith tho and believe that this can't stay we all have purpose in life and being stuck with FEAR ain't one of them... just need to find some inner strength inside a know easy to say and hard to do as am struggling myself but do we let fear take out life's or so we fight and win !!! Don't give up, take a day at time don't look long term

Hi Charlie,

I'm so sorry that this is happening to you, mental health is hard enough as it is without your GP dismissing you aswell! 

I would suggest going to another GP and going to a counsellor, I have my first counselling session on Monday! It is nothing to be ashamed of. I constantly worry that people will see me as crazy but at the end of the day it's so important for us to work on our mental health. The stigma around it is difficult, my sister told me recently 'Do not feel ashamed or apologise for your mental health, we need to be the ones who are honest about how we feel and erase the stigma'. We can do this we just need some support. There are so many great people on this forum, feel free to message me if you need to chat. I'll be here. 

Please keep going, your mental health is important and it is for YOU to decide what the next step is not for anyone else to judge. This forum is great, no one is judgemental. Use us to get through. We can all get through it together. Sending love and as I said I'm here if you need a chat x

Hey Charlie

Suicide is never the solution. I know how it is to struggle with all these  nagging thoughts constantly on our head. It's difficult it drives me insane. You're not crazy you have Health Anxiety. Which many in this forum suffer from too. You're girlfriend and family don't understand what's going on. You need help to change your thoughts. (CBT therapy) I wish I could help you more. Don't do something to yourself. There's other ways to block our mind out. Distraction, I get myself tired so I won't think. I know it's weird but my mind sometimes drives me crazy. Best of Luck to you.🙌

Take Care🙏
