Health Anxiety getting out of control
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all, I am a 29year old male...seemingly on the wrong end of chronic health anxiety and still trying to get myself together. over 2 months ago, I experienced a bad bacterial infection, after which I started suffering from anxiety and my IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)...I went to the doctors, ran blood tests and everything came back great...doctors words "There is nothing in the blood work at all to show anything wrong, everything is how it should be".....however, its been 6 weeks and I am still convinced somehow, that my symptoms which have already been confirmed as IBS and chronic anxiety are something more sinister. So I have a booked doctors appointment for tomorrow morning in hope I can get some more assurance....I am at the point now where I need to move on and start trying something....
I tend to have nausea (never being sick or close to being sick) but the feeling....along with stomach discomfort and lots of gas....all common things with IBS....and also anxiety....
However, I need some advice guys....I am trying to be positive...doing Tai Chi, doing meditation, possitive affirmations etc....its causing a strain on my relationship and I need to accept that I AM OK!....I dont have cancer...or another terminal disease....because I have to trust that the doctor knows what she is doing and would see something in my blood to require further tests....
Anyone have any tips or advice about how to accept a diagnosis of good health when suffering from health anxiety??? I feel like I am going crazy day by day.....and I spend several hours a day, in my head thinking everything over and over...
I need advice...
