My anxiety disorder is controlling me , what should i do?

I have suffered this for almost 5 years without even noticing it. Lately, as i have several problems with my health ,it keeps getting worse. I keep obsessing with the thoughts that i have cancers. So i have gone to a lot of hospitals to check my health which result in spending too much money. For over a month ,i obsess with the thought that i have skin cancer. So i have my mole biopsy to make sure that I don't have cancer. Just after that i feel awful with the pain in my arm from the biopsy, regret how wasteful i am for being overdo for just a little mole. I'm very confused now. I don't even know what is real and what is my imagination. Anxiety is slowly killing a piece of me everyday. And i just keeps sinking deeper into it.

ella i know exactly how you feel anxiety is literally taking over my life everyday i panic over some sort of pain in my body it goes from brain tumors to leukiemia to strokes its horrendous its the symptoms i get and the pains i feel all over my body if you need someone to talk to private message me xx

i have only kept my anxiety at bay by being in control of it rather than it being in control of me. Im always here to talk! :heart:

i’m the same ella!! my anxiety goes from me to my son and my husband! i literally worry about everything and it takes over my life. i cant go a day without obsessing about something. i always think there is something wrong with me. i can remember the first feelings of it when i was young and everyone used to say i was ‘weird’ or imagining things i went through such a bad time…lost alot of weight, wouldn’t eat as i was scared to be sick! honestly anxiety has ruled me for so long. any little pain ill obsess over it. have you thought about exercise? i dont do it as often as i should but it eases my anxiety when i do to a certain degree.
