Health anxiety

So here goes, every since I can remember I have suffered terribly with anxiety, however since having my DD I have become consumed with fear that I may have to leave her due to becoming ill. I have been convinced I have skin cancer as I used to use singers when I was younger quite a lot. Now I have moved to a brain tumour. This is taking my happiness and I should be enjoying my life with my daughter but instead I am just preoccupied with the thought of her being without me. Does anybody else suffer with this? And any ideas on how to make it slightly easier?

@bollocks1 I’ve just started a thread on this.. I also have health anxiety although I don’t have children.. I’ve had it almost as long as I can remeber I’m 29 i have periods when I’m okay but I’m having a flair up atm triggered by an abnormal smear 6 months ago. I also feel i can’t enjoy myself and focus on having fun etc and enjoying life during a flair up as I am consumed by worry. I had CBT some years ago and it helped .. I’m now on the waiting list for more.. it may help you.. also google is our worst enemy but when I’m bad I can’t stay off it so I would advise you to stay off it but I can’t talk lol! But I feel way better when I do not google
