I have finally plucked up the courage to go to the GP about my anxiety. Having been on numerous occasions with physical symptoms, I really want to talk about my mental health - I think this is where most of my physical symptoms stem from.
I'm really nervous about going. I don't know what to say and think the GP will think I am a complete hypochondriac. And what can he do anyway? I can't see that I will ever get 'better'.
Most of my problems are health-anxiety related - I am convinced I have various fatal illnesses. But I am also prone to phobias and general anxiety.
I don't know what I'm asking really. I suppose, is it worth going? Can I be helped? I keep convincing myself that I am fine, but these negative thoughts are in my head all day. I just think I could feel so much happier.
Sorry for rambling.
