Yup, I know exactly where you're coming from. Hypochondria is the worst, isn't it? I've had every disease known to man yet I've actually had none. The nights can be the worst too, because it's just extra time to think too much. I'm sure you are fine, just suffering what so many of us suffer with. Try to keep telling yourself that it's just your anxiety that's causing all these crazy feelings. Do you take any meds like Xanax before bed? I take a small dose and it usually helps with the nights. Good luck.

I'm having a horrible night with anxiety too. I keep getting odd sensations when I try and sleep. Hope you get some relief soon

I do take medicine but, I have moved and haven't found a doctor yet. I don't have any right now.... So that really doesn't help matters any

Hi

Health anxiety can be really difficult to deal with and if you let it can take over your life I know as I have been there with mine. I would suggest that you find a new doctor and make an appointment to go and see them asap. Talking therapy works wonders with anxiety related disorders so speak with your doctor about getting a referral for some CBT.

In the meantime check out our resources thread which you will find on the first page first post for some useful links to self help sites and keep posting here we are here to support you.

Darren,

Oh gosh...moving, and missing your meds? That is a lot of stress right there!

I do hope that you find a doctor and get set up with your regimen to help you again soon!

For now (and beyond, actually) here are some of the links that Hibee referred to. He is correct regarding the use of self-help. It can be a really effective way to reduce anxiety and symptoms!
