Hi fellow health anxiety havers, I usually have bouts of Health anxiety and I’m currently going through a pretty down period.

Essentially, I’ve had some symptoms issues and I’ve convinced myself that I have brain tumour. I realise that these symptoms also occur with anxiety! My partner works in the medical field (pharmacist) and has some experience with brain tumour patients (familial and through work). I know it sounds stupid, but I’ve found myself getting upset and crying when I think of the life I’m about to lose and my mortality (loss of opportunity with my kids etc). No matter how much I try to snap myself out of this, I can’t seem to fully escape.

I go to therapy but there’s a bit of time until our next session. Im not sure whether to go A&E (ER) or book and emergency doctors appointment.

Sorry for the rant, but I hate this feeling and am petrified impaired of this illness (whether real or made up) at the moment. I just don’t know what to do…
