automatic response?
« on: March 07, 2010, 08:13:05 PM »
Alright, every single time I go from feeling "ok", to noticing my face Is hot, or my stomach hurts, or I'm real tired at 2 in the afternoon, or my cough "felt" different... I automatically think its something bad, its like natural for me. Then I can feel all my nerves in my body fluttering and everything getting worse, and ill get dizzy. Like just now, I showered after a few days of fishing in the "cool/cold" weather, and I got out, sat for dinner.. And my face is on fiiire. I relate it to a cancer killing me inside, then ill get other symptoms and it drives me crazy sometimes I want to throw up. Why can't I just say maybe I'm getting a cold or just from the cold weather to a hot shower, instead I think of something deadly and its not like I joke about it... Ill really think I have it (cancer) at 22.

My first thought when you said your face was hot after being out fishing for a couple days was that you got wind burn or even sunburn if there was any sun. Your mind is programed to go to the worst case scenario right now. Did you have fun fishing? Were you anxious out there?

Have you tried any type of therapy to help retrain your mind? Having health anxiety is a vicious cycle. You are so young! Try to do something to stop the madness now so that you don't have to deal with the same anxiety and worries in twenty or thirty years.

Studies have shown it is more difficult to be positive than negative. You are not alone
in your thinking. The key is to learn to cope with it and move on, which at times can be
very difficult. The what ifs have no answer and go on and on into infinity.
