Feel sick
Being sick
Headaches/migraines
Belly ache
Diarrhea or constipation
Internal tremors
Feeling like my belly is falling out
Feelings of doom

I'm at a loss and feel like the worst mum/wife/human in the world. I cant take AD because I'm to scared. Just in a rut.

Thank you

Have a look at this video on health anxiety - it will put your mind at rest;

All your symptoms are very common with stress/anxiety as your brain is on high alert (the flight or fight reaction) for danger because you are scared; the brain doesn't know the difference between actual danger and that produced by an anxious mind.

Can you remember when and why you started feeling this way?

Thank you so much, I have a look at this video. That is very reassuring to me as the physical symptoms keep me in such an anxious cycle so it knowing they are typically anxiety symptoms helps me massively. Yes I remember the day vividly it was 7th August 2015, my son was diagnosed with a terminal life limiting condition I got a hold of it for a long time but recently I've been so anxious that I will leave him, he is started to become weaker but its destroyed me more than ever recently (well for about a year) thanks for reply. I appreciate it

I've named changed as well haha 😄
