i keep thinking and going over in my mind of scenarios that could happen. i am pretfired of being sick or getting a bug that could give me s&d. im only every comfortable at home and even then i can freak out. I think what if this happens while im at work or what if that happens when im on holiday or something. I suffer from ibs so i get the physical symptoms anyway and any little twing or pain i start to freak! i have back ache and today its bad and makes me feel pressure like i need the loo sad one minuet i think im fine the next im like oh no what if im ill!? its affecting my work and social life immensly and ive tried everything to make it better. writing on here makes me feel alot better but i still am scared. i know you should live in the moment but for me i just go over and over what could happen or what has happened to others in the past!

      I have recently gave in and am taking a very low dose of amytryptaline which has helped a bit. I hate taking medication so wouldnt take anything else. I think it can make things worse in the long run. Are you on anything? Xx

    Hi there! I'm having one of those days myself. I hate it when I feel bad because it just causes me to become so anxious. I worry about every single symptom I feel. I know it's just anxiety but it is so hard to make myself think differently! Good luck and I hope you are feeling better.
