Hello.
I’m currently being “fast tracked” due to a suspicious patch in my bladder. I’ve suffered with health anxiety most of my life with the last serious experience in 2017 after an unexpected loss of a loved one through cancer. I fear health anxiety has made a return!
This scare has set me back. I’ve thought the worst thoughts about everything and played it over and over in my head. On top of this, I lost my job in May and my pets have both had injuries meaning I’ve not stopped to look after me. My husband is a busy manager at work and I have a teenage daughter. Life is so overwhelming with everything happening at once.
I’m drinking (forcing the water down) but my appetite has gone completely through the worry.
I'm reaching out to share my feelings in the hope there’s other people who have felt like this with maybe some coping mechanism ideas which they can share with me.
I’m usually a great organised person so I’m struggling to manage everything with this scare on top.
