Anxiety taking over. Need help :(
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi I'm 23, I've suffered with anxiety since being 15. I've got really bad health anxiety but it's taking over every little pain I get I think I'm dying.. I'm currently going through numbness and pins and needles in my head and cheek which I'm waiting on an MRI.. But I'm telling myself I have ms or a brain tumour and I don't no what I can do anymore.. I don't want to go out.. I don't wanna come to work.. I keep crying constantly.. I've had CBT but was a load of rubbish.. So I'm on antidepressants to try help.. Just feel lost and alone

I understand how you feel. I too suffer with health anxiety as part of my anxiety. Yes every little thing becomes something terrible and threatening, I get dry mouth and throat from anxiety - so of course the health anxiety joins in and this means its something awful.
I agree CBT is terrible, I use CAT therapy, its much better and is available on the NHS. Medication I avoid as the side effects make me worry too much. Your not alone, its a terrible problem, all I would say is not to google symptoms, it will tell you you have terrible things, once your main anxiety is under control these things will fade too
