What is this?

Hi there and Welcome to HW

IMHO '
It sounds like you are OCD with Health anxiety for others as well as for yourself especially for self
It is quite normal for a/per's to have health anxiety and many here you will find do go thru it ahave it and are ocd about it .........

Know first that Anxiety and Panic is the sneakiest of all the DD out there and it will rip you down and tear you apart IF you let it
You need to learn some more skills to help you get thru this
IMHO.
There is Cognitive Behaviuoral Therapy( sp) up top in the Resources as well as deep breathing and relaxation techniques and if you read other threads you will see others have ways of dealing with this

You may have a more serious health anxiety than most BUT know it can be helped and you can be helped as well .......

I am not a professionall by no means but I would suggesst perhaps trying therapy and also a short term med that will help with the anxiety you are going thru
You are ...........or seem to be very afraid of dying
Is there a specific reson for this that you know of or can think of ??

You sure seem to be very obsesive about this and OCD can also be helped believe me I was severe OCD with many things and thru CBT I have gotten alot better in the last year and with techniques as well as medication

I am glad you found us here and I SO hope you will stick around and get to know us
It is a very caring and supportive family here
All are willing to give you help IF they are able too
Please DO read other threads ....pages and resources as well as

And Stay with us

Thank you Lyn.  I will certainly look into the Cognitive Behavior Therapy.   I've thought of speaking w/a professional but haven't done so yet. 

Thank you again for responding.

 

Not a problem
There is a link at the top in Resources with "Wen" at the end ( in yellow)
that will give you the free online CBT workshop /workbook

I have and am using this and for me it does work as it for many others here

Take care and keep us posted

Hi Rukiddingme,

welcome to HW! I'm glad you found us. I think Lyn could be right that you have OCD along with the health anxiety. You are in good company! It is probably a good idea to see a professional about this if it is interfering with your quality of live. We do not deserve to live with this fear, and we certainly don't need to do it alone. Again, welcome, I look forward to getting to know you better. Take care.

Lyn, I can't seem to find the free online CBT info you referred to above. I've looked under Resources and can't find it.....
