@desidawn and the others whom have responded….

I’m going to share some of my personal story in order to really help you get out of the place of worry.

I was a 100% healthy and young at 37 yrs old. I did not know what anxiety was/meant or how it expressed itself in the body.

I made a simple doctor appt for a simple thing that I shouldn’t have.
This doctor ran tests that I didn’t need, prescribed meds that I did not need and caused harm based off of giving me a catastrophic presentation of what “could be” a problem. This cycle of worry that was created in the environment of medical doctors that are meant to be of service and help, caused me harm which I have now been taking care of since that doctor visit.

I can tell you from start to finish this was all based off of “worry”. I made an initial appointment based off “small worry”. The doctor I met with, rather than calm my unnecessary worry, perpetuated it and kept me in a repeating cycle that grew. While I was in the middle of it, all I was focused on was my health, so I had the inability to feel that it was my worrying causing me additional symptoms.

What I have now learned is that worrying can literally make you sick. It is the brains way of thinking it is keeping us safe. And it is not. Every thought becomes a feeling.

If you can meet with someone whom can explain this to you in person and start to get you on the path of new healthy thought patterns, you will realize it.

I only came to this forum after this bad encounter with a medical doctor and western medicine. And all started by one worried thought that would’ve been nothing had I not acted on it.

So please get out, get fresh air, look at nature and how beautiful it is. Seek out things that make you laugh. Create something. Draw something.

Health forums can be a place of reassurance to not feel alone, but they can also cross over into a place of worry perpetuating worry.

Don’t stay too long on a health forum. Get out and live!!!!
