Started a couple of months ago, was being investigated at drs, found out I have a diagnosis of something, not life threatening and I probably would have even knew if I hadn't gone GP, it was picked up accidental. I don't need any treatment.

Since waiting for results ect I developed
Severe health anxiety, I thought I was going to be diagnosed with something awful, I didn't sleep/eat for weeks. I couldn't look after myself and had frequent panic attacks. Since then the health anxiety has got a bit better, no where near as bad as it was but I still find myself crying for no reason, I feel a bit depressed. One minute can be ok and then it just appears from no where. I've spoke to gp, who is reluctant to prescribe any medication because he thinks I can overcome it myself. I just feel a bit lost and don't really know what to do. I want to go back to the old me

Hi, did the GP give you any actual suggestions? There are yes, lots of things you can try such as exercise, mindfulness, cutting out caffeine, good sleep routine etc. However, might also be good to talk to someone? If you're worried I'd maybe make another appointment to talk through the options. I hope your health improves. All the best
