I'm so anxious all the time, thoughts in my head are spinning round and round, I don't even know if this is going to make any sense.
I'm really anxious all the time and suffer from panic attacks. I convince myself everyday that I'm dying of cancer. I'm overweight and as a result of this suffer from alot of aches and pains which just adds to my anxiety.
I dread feeling ill or even catching a cold because I know that I'll convince myself I'm suffering from something far worse than I actually am. I've now started to worry about my dc's and dh becoming ill, I find myself looking for rashes or bruises on them.
I do have genuine health issues but I don't feel my GP takes me seriously because she knows about my fear of being ill etc. She won't give me anti depressents and has referred me for counselling which I cannot have because it is only offered on 1 day of the week which happens to be one of the days I work so I can't go.
I'm now at my wits end. The panic attacks are taking over my life. I want to feel normal again, just wake up and not have a battle on my hands. I want to cry but if I do I know I'll never stop.
Is there any hope for me or is this just something I'll have to put up with for the rest of my life??
