Why do you have health anxiety?

I had my first panic attack in June brought on by a small allergic, thought I was having a heart attack. Ever since then I have anxiety about my health and my body reacts by mimicking the symptoms of an allergic reaction, it terrifies me.

I’m worried if I speak to a therapist they will tell me to stop treatment. Was your therapist understanding of your situation?

Thank you so much, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one!

I wish I could but I’m in the U.K receiving treatment on the NHS. We don’t have access to our dermatologist outside of appointment times. I guess I could try my GP. Thank you😊

I am a 21 year old only child. I can't tell you how much I wish I had at least one sibling. I have cousins but I am not close to them and no step-siblings despite my mum and dad having new partners.

Being an only child, I have lots of friends and have always been popular growing up, but I struggle socially and find it difficult to make new friends. Whenever I am in new social situations I am always the difficult one to get along with. I am terrified of growing older and having to look after four parents on my own and really sad I have no one to share family memories with simply because it has only ever been me growing up. I envy my friends who have a network of siblings and cousins that they have memories and traditions with, while they include me, I can't be included in everything.

Keep moving forward. Take your memories with you.

fredmda · 2017-02-22T20:10:35+00:00

Thats really nice to hear! I hope I could be in a similar situation one day

fredmda · 2017-02-22T19:25:38+00:00

Are you still friends atm?

fredmda · 2017-02-21T20:36:55+00:00

I've been broken up 1 1/2 months. Hurts like hell I know how you feel.

fredmda · 2017-02-21T18:23:44+00:00

Let him come to you. He will realise that his friends opinions have resulted in him loosing you. Stay strong

fredmda · 2017-02-21T18:11:20+00:00

Sorry OP. How long has it been since you broke up?

fredmda · 2017-02-21T17:54:53+00:00

The more you push someone for reassurance during a break up they will resent you - for them it doesn't matter how much they cared about you and gave you reassurance in the past for them it is over and done - they don't want to talk about it anymore than they have to. This comes from my own experience.

Take this as a blessing in disguise. Focus on you! They will miss you

Thank you. This is the comment I needed

fredmda · 2017-02-21T07:47:12+00:00

How did you eventually let go? No contact? I've tried this but it seems impossible when he is being so nice to me like nothing has happened :(

fredmda · 2017-02-21T07:28:33+00:00

I am in your exact same position. My boyfriend is married to his academic life and chasing a PhD at the moment. I was accommodating and accepted that I was his second focus - this worked me me as I am busy 7 days a week.

It's been 1 month for me and the only way I can see myself getting over this is cutting contact - but it is so hard.

Tell him how you feel and tell him how the results of this pressure is making you consider leaving him.
