      It takes over your life and there is no cure.  Tried everything CBT hypnotherapy it's all a waste of time and money.  Sorry I am so negative

    Hi Mary. Please try not to worry. You probably have headaches due to your anxiety. A brain tumour is incredibly unilkely. If you keep worrying go to your doctor and they can rule out anything bad.

    Your anxiety will cause you to have irrational thoughts about your health; try to keep this in mind. Things will not be as bad as you think.

    This is me right now I'm convinced I have a tumor in my brain , I have the ultimate headache , I have a shaky feeling and a nervous feeling my head feels like there is this tight band around it , head pressure blurred vision periodically , watering eyes , and burning scalp , scalp soreness, shooting pains that come.out of nowhere, tingling scalp sensations , headaches, and it hurts in certain places when i lay down on my head , neck stiffness and choking sensations aroumd my neck ,,,and the list goes on smh this is a nightmare I swear something is wrong with my brain it feel like I'm going to just drop dead at any moment, but I've already been to every doctor known to man , had MRIs , blood work, and the list goes on again , cleared from any medical condition, so I say all of that to.say I doubt you have a brain tumor but go and see your doctor. Anxiety is scary and can cause over one hundred different sensation ns and symptons and some you out to think something is truly wrong when.your actually completely healthy

      Jeeny have you seen an allergist? Or tested your home for mold? It can even be at your work llace. There are 3 different testing methods: 1) indoor air quality to test for mold spores, 2) the AC/heating mold sampling tests the air from a forced air heating and air conditioning unit, and 3) surface mold sampling which test mold that is already growing on a surface. Have you ever looked into that as a real source of your headaches?

    Health  anxiety  is a oanic disorder plus ocd. So bith have to be handled.idont give up and allow it to win. Find a new therapist to work with. The therapist can stink too then you walk away learning little to nothing. Go online get yiurself a cbt workbook and try it on your own. Dont give up. This is a mangeabke thing. There are set backs and moments that stink but then theres the better moments. The goal is to enjoy thise better moments to their fiullest. This comes with so many symptoms and issues your not alone at all, hooefully some scientist somewhere will piece all this together and figure something out that will return the mind to its healthy original state. Headaches seem to effect everyone with or without anxiety. Theres so many reasons a person can get headaches so its hard to narrow that down.

      Can feel my mood slipping and I am not sleeping well.  The doctor doesn't feel I need an anti depressant.  This feeling is horrible it is like looking into a black hole
