Find something warm to put on the back of your neck. Relax your shoulders and just breathe. Sorry you are having a bad night. My heart goes out to anyone that suffers through the A/P. Read through the forum here. Most people myself included find it very soothing.

MJ,

 

I don't know if you are currently in therpay for help?  Or if you have done so in the past, but here are some great self-help links for books and techniques you can work on at home. 

 

If therapy is available to you, I highly recommend looking into this treatment option...it was a game changer for me.

 

Until then, please get started with the effective material below...it helps!

 

With encouragement!

 

S.C.

Hi

Sorry to hear you are feeling this way at the moment health anxiety can be really tough to deal with and if you let it will take over your life.

The good news is that lots can be done to help with anxiety have a look at the links SC has given you for some useful information on self help specifically for health anxiety.

I would also recommend that you go and speak with your doctor about getting a referral to do some talking therapy as it is that which you will find most useful and keep posting here we are here for you.

Hi everyone...

Today was not so bad at work... Only had it a few times instead of all day.
Kiran.. I'm a plus sized woman. So I have issues thinking I'm going to have a heart attack.. I get physical done all the time and I'm ok.. but I try so hard to loose weight and I feel that I yoyo so much it's never going to happen. I always make appointments for the consultation for the gastric bi pass but my anxiety never lets me actually go to them because I get so scared :/ this is taking over my life and I try not to let it. I'm going to ask to see someone because I need it

I was in your situation last October. It felt like it was never going to end. Through medication, therapy, meditation, and the support of this forum I've been feeling much better but not completely myself.

It's really difficult to lose weight, almost impossible sometimes. I encourage you try your best and think positive thoughts.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Sending prayers and hugs!
