And so I have started with the CBT worksheets they are helping, however I go on during the day and then realize that what if I am sick like ...my mom and an aunt both have had these fears and well my aunt passed away a few months ago from a totally unrelated illness and well my mom is fine, I mean she doesn't take meds or anything but, all of a sudden start thinking what if I get episodes like theirs? Like I said my mom is fine, she had it due to stress and now I'm fearing I will have one too....

Cln,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your aunt.:( This is of course difficult, and an anxiety trigger, naturally.

You however are doing a lot to manage your stress...so know that you are moving in the right direction for your health...both mentally and physically.

Keep up the good work, and continue talking with us for support and encouragement!

S.C.

You re right scaredy, and truly the worksheets have help a lot to understand how and why these thoughts are always here, however only in my stressful time..and near my period too
