Hi im 31 . I have posted on here before. My anxiety feels like its not getting better. I have 2 children and so scared of them being left without me. A year ago i had a servere miscarriage where i was bleeding that much i got rushed for surgery. Ever since then. I cant stop thinking something is wrong with me. 3 times this year i have coughed up a bit of blood not loads. Ive had 2 coughs and colds but this ine 3 weeks ago was out of no where i coughed and it came up. I had a panic attack and took myself to a and e i had a xray and it was xlear they said becausr i have a habbit of coughing and straining its from there
I always feel theres a lump in my throat. But ive got it into my head there missing something. Ive had blood tests too all clear. I suffer from servere health anxietyx
I just cant stop thinking and i google everything what makes me think i have the c word.
Regards vicky.

Your not alone I have really bad anxiety as well it's bad everything I feel the smallest ache pain I analyse and fund a way for it to be the C word I have made myself a mess for over 10 years with this. I too need help that the doctors can not really give as all they say is I have anxiety . They are not wrong because if I did have what I think I have I would have been dead years ago . But I still feel helpless

As soon as you start thinking something negative, you have to stop, and change the focus it takes little time but once you can do it it makes a difference for at least the smaller things that you let get in your head. As crazy as it may sound I will literally hum out loud sometimes to just break the thought process.
Cut out sugars, especially sodas. A lot of people say the caffeine causes a lot of anxiety but high fructose corn syrup that is in nearly everything has been linked to anxiety sufferers.
Meat like beef and pork, unless youre eating hormone free antibiotic free, these meats are wreaking havok on our bodies. I have no doubt in my mind cutting out red meats helps reduce anxiety.
Make sure your getting your vitamins, as we age and have children especially. We really tend to take less care of ourselves and more everyone around us. Theres hardly enough time to make all the healthy meals every single day but if youre at least getting your vitamins B C and E they help the nervous system function properly, B vitamins particulary affect mood and metabolism, magnesium is also known to help relieve stress therefore lacking it would cause irritability and apathy. Also people lacking in Omega 3's are shown to be more anxious.
Take the saying "you are what you eat" to heart, eat good fresh foods to nourish your body.
Having somebody to talk to when youre feeling this way, someone who understands and is willing to just listen and help talk you out of the negative mind frame really helps a load.
Exercise. Getting outside for me and just walking, doesnt just keep the pounds off or improve blood pressure, its also proven to help mood disorders And several studies have shown that physical activity is linked with decreased risk of some cancers, particularly breast and colon cancer.
Ive learned being an anxious person there will always be days where things feel like it be better off without me.. Those days will remain. But at least I am learning to cope and learning natural ways to help cure my anxiety rather than pharmaceutals taking my money and my sanity. Anxiety does not define you. Strengthen the body and mind. You will overcome.

Ive never been a big drinker, taken drugs, smoked in my life. So was surprised when i coughed up blood. When im having a good day i wont google. But when my anxiety is bad. I will google. My husband has taken my data off me but i will find a way to google off something else wether it being my sons phone of the laptop. I do also walk alot. I take the youngest to school every day. I am an army wife so im very isolated as i find it hard to mix with others due to some of them not being friendly. So i spend alot of by myself. X

Just being alone in itself(and I mean adult alone, kids dont count lol) can make your mind wonder then add google in the mix and youre gonna make yourself nuts momma!!! Stay away from google!!!
Have you tried any aromatherapy? Like burning lavendar essential oils to calm the house? Just another suggestion. Or when you start thinking maybe I should google this symptom remind yourself what comes of that.. Worry and more anxiety. Also perhaps changing your focus and start researching MIND MANIFESTATION. This is something I have begun researching and once again that theory "it makes sense must be true" hits me and Im running. Basically there are people who believe if you think something enough you can manifest it.(good or bad) So a negative thinking person can only outline negative lifestyles because thats the only way they think. I am new to this but from stories I have read I find comfort in thinking that if I start my day positive tell myself that today is another beautiful day in a crazy world and here I am to make my mark. I want my mark to be beautiful and glow with all the radiance of the sun, I am a loving mother that plants the seeds that will grow into freethinking beautiful people. You must remind yourself how worthy you are, how amazing you are as a woman and what you have already accomplished creating these equally beautiful children. My biggest reminders are my two. They SEE EVERYTHING mommy is happy babies happy. End of story. This time you have here is soooo precious dont worry so much anout what could happen or you not being here in the future think of now make sure you feed into them every bit of love strength and happiness, they will give back to you. That cycle is endless and so passionately full of a special love that only your child can give you. You can turn nightmares into dreams you just gotta wake up first.
