health anxiety

[hopeliss]

has anybody ever found a cure for health anxiety. it has plagued my life for 7 years and don't see an end to it. awful day today.
ps never been on mumsnet before. sorry if this is the wrong place to raise this.

Please call the GPs first thing tomorrow and see a different GP.

My breast Clínic appt in weds evening. Am so scared, keep thinking that my life might be turned upside down afterwards and i wont see my two DC grow up

Theonlyoneknow i totally know how you feel :( is someone going with you? I don't want them to refer me in a way cause the last time the breast consultant refused to see me :( and sent me to the nurse, made me feel like I was wasting his time , which I was. U hope it goes quickly for you . I may just go to Gp ask her to have a poke and give me some AD's and push my CBt through .....

Im scared of what the blood tests show up. I always think they are going to find sonthing sinister

It's not fair we all feel like this :( there has for to be more to life then this surely ??

I know. Ive just started my meds so im hoping when they kick in i feel better. Im ecperiencing slgh pain in my side n thinking i have an enlarged spleen

Megan what meds do you have ? I can't have citalopram , cause they made my hair fall
Out :(

:(

Om on citalopram. I have only had then a few days. Ive to go back to docs in 2 weeks. What will the doc want to see me again for

Yes I had that when I had them , just to see how you are getting on with them . I'm sat in the car in tears , sposed to be working :( I'm so depressed its unreal , my mum said to me today she doesn't know how I can be depressed with my lovely children round me all day , I don't deserve children :( I don't think I can go on like this I really don't , I'd rather be dead

Its not your fault its an imbalance in your brain. Your mum should be a abit more supportive n if u have thoughts like that then u need to go back to the docs. You need to tell your you maybe thinkbits easier to be dead but imagine the grief you would leave your loved ones and esecially yoir lovely children. Some people dont have a choixe in life and have to diem u have a choice. Go back to the docs or to your local 24/ hpur care and tell them how u feel. Maybe even talking to a doc will make u feel better. Cxx

Milk, i am really worried about you. Please promise that you will call your GP first thing in the morning and make an appt. Xxx

I will b ok , I m going to ask for a phone consultation , I don't wanna anymore pokes at my breast it's making me paranoid :(

Do you have any friends you can talk to about things?

i am looking at the strange dent in my breast every ten mins and feel sick. How can this not be something serious? Everything online about dents equals tumors and cancer :-(

Not really ? Do you ? I know that's how i feel when I feel this damn Lump ! Makes me feel sick ;(

I feel terrible , I've just gone mental at my 6yo for having a bad attitude this morning and going deliberately slow to wind me up. But it's not her fault , she can probably sense I'm depressed :( feel really bad now

So gp wants be back on citalopram , I told her about my hairloss but she doesn't think it was the citalopram even tho this is a listed side effect :( she won't let me try abything else

Just a thought, have you tried any alternative therapies? Acupuncture might be worth a shot?

No I've not , I'm waiting for CBT , we are a bit tight on cash at the moment having 3 kids and I can only work a minimum paid job to fit around them. Such a same as citalopram worked well for me until I lost clumps of hair on my already fine haired head

I can't shake this thought that I have BC I can't get the fear away it's in my mind all the time ! I think I'm dying

I know exactly how you feel. I am convinced that this time tomorrow my world will be totally different. My appt is 5pm, am so scared

The only one I'm sure it's fine , what did ur go actually say?

GP sorry

One could see the dent, one couldn't. Am so fed up of the constant hassles with my left breast, it's constantly painful, very lumpy and now this very odd indent. Everything on the net = cancer. :-(

Mine are lumpy but my right is more lumpy , it's annoying and scary . I think your be ok , mine look funny when I lay down , like all the skin goes loose ://

Mine feels really hard which is scaring me , think its bone but its a lot bigger then the other side :-/
