Going bonkers with health anxiety

[Healthanxietyqueen]

I know there are loads of threads about health anxiety on here already. I am sat awake in the middle of the night convinced I have pancreatic cancer. I stoped breast feeding a month a go which is a massive anxiety trigger for me. I had CBT after my last baby for post natal anxiety and here I am again, spiralling with insomnia.

Deep breaths HAqueen. I don’t have any advice really, but lots of empathy and sympathy. Middle of the night anxiety and insomnia is horrible. Every worry feels bigger and more real. Maybe try listening to a (non- health related) podcast or audio book to try and distract your mind?

@CountOurDollarsOnTheTrain thank you! The baby woke up so was a distraction.

Ah! hope you managed to get a bit of sleep at least
