New to this anxiety world....

I'm kinda lost and not sure what to do with myself...  I have a lot of weird symptoms ranging from pain and pins and needles to high anxiety and worrying.  I have some health issues going on also and have some procedures and appointments coming up that are making me really nervous

I feel like my life is falling apart right now.  Trying to take all the steps I need to fix all this and I feel like I am running out of hope

Hi Hank,

Sorry you've joined the anxiety world. Anxiety symptoms cover virtually everything and that's no joke, and it's very likely the pain, pins and needles are anxiety. You've got to work hard on letting go and ignoring these symptoms, getting to sleep, treating your body right. Health anxiety is awful really is, but it is self-perpetuating. Anxiety is tiredness, and the more you feed it, the more it grows

Yeah I'm not entirely sure what is going on with my body.  I know I have some serious stomach issues going on.  They are doing a scope on me in a couple of days.  That's causing me some anxiety.  I have a lot of unexplained weight loss also... They want me to see a cancer doctor to rule out any cancer.  I also just found out through an ultra sound that I only have one kidney.  Been having bad neck pain and pins and needles all over.  My mind feels weird.  My eyesight and hearing does too.  I think a lot of my problem is not knowing whats going on with my health.  the weight loss got me all freaked out

Stay strong hank it'll get better with time. Anxiety can do some crazy things. I'm just a message away if need be.

before making out any conclusion, better to take proper diagnose by consulting hypnotherapist 

I get you. Sorry to hear it is like that atm but,excessive worry won't help. I know the weight loss thing is worrying, I haven't been able to eat properly in 3 weeks mucking around with meds... so I took myself out, take my mind of things, my appetite comes back... Walking around the city with snacks and bottomless lattes, better than j have felt in days. Take your mind off it, it is stress and it will do that.

Thanks I'm tryin to stay strong.   The weight loss is what scares me the most.  Now they are talking about cancer.  I just feel so lost and my mind and body feel out of contrl

Yeah I try to take my mind off of it all.  I feel ok for a couple hours and then everything comes rushing back.  I think now knowing whats going on is whats making me worry the most

That's a rough ride, all the more important to look after yourself. Keep us posted Hank

Yeah it has been a nightmare of a ride so far...  I didn't even wanna get on the ride.  I have a procedure tomorrow that has me all anxious.  Hopefully everything gores well and I can start to find out whatss wrong.  Thanks for the encouraging words

You're not alone. I've currently made myself believe I have a brain tumor. Going to the doctor and ruling stuff out helps a lot and give peace of mind.

Yeah not knowing is the worst.  And having to wait to find out makes it even harder.  I truly hate it.  I had an endoscope yesterday and am waiting on results from that.  They did a couple biopsies and hopefully its not cancer
