    Hi Natalie , listen I'm going through the same thing even after I had test done to prove I was healthy , I'm still convinced there is something wrong in my head and the anxiety is killing me, I'm on the Verge of breaking all the way down, anxiety is by far the worst mental illness know to man , I'm at the end of my ropes with this mess, and I just want my like back too !! TRUST ME !

    Hi Natalie I have had health anxiety all my life and I can honestly say it's been a total waste of time! Quite literally!!! Get off google! That's the worst thing you can do! It will throw up illnesses you've never heard of! Never was a saying so true as "worry solves nothin" !!!  Worrying about being ill will MAKE you ill. You know that so make your mind up to stop it! If you become ill you will deal with it because you have to but in the meantime give yourself a break! Please don't do as I have done!

      So so true Elizabeth, a twitchy eye for instance is stress, nothing else. The symptoms of a brain tumour

      Are so different. Please don't stress over your health. As Elizabeth said if people become ill they deal with it. I would stake my life on it that you are not I'll, just neurotic like me!!! Hehe. Best of luck xuxxx

      Hi Caroline I need a pep talk!!! You up for it???  I know all the theory but I'm rubbish at the practise! I'm in a paddy at the moment because I'm losing weight! Brain tells me it's because I'm eating less because I'm in a paddy but I'm not getting through to me!,!!!

      Are getting any counseling.  It is a good place to start.  A counselor may be able to give you the tools you need to self talk yourself out of your distructive thinking.
