tarn 51 Posted January 28, 2016 I can't read the news or watch it on the tv. I can't bear to hear anyone talk about any health conditions at all. Lately I have heard about a few horror stories, and I can't get them off my mind. Its horrible. Everyone else around me seems to brush these stories off, with a few 'oh that's sad' then they move on. I can't do that. I think about them for days, wonder how the person must have felt, how their family must have felt, how I would feel if it were me, omg, what if it happens to me. Try as I may to brush it off, it just lingers there, occupying my every free thought. I'm sick and tired of anticipating doom. Does this ever go away... I convince myself my symptoms are anxiety, then I convince myself they are some dreadful hideous thing, then I convince myself they are anxiety, then I convince myself they are some dreadful hideous thing, then I convince myself they are anxiety - and on and on and on!!! welcome to my roller-coaster!

JungleJulia 235 Posted January 28, 2016 Hey tarn, I feel you!! I havent been able to watch the news for years. Today I was sitting in the doctors waiting room and it was on the tv and I got really disturbed by some talk about a disease. I also freak out when people discuss illnesses, accidents etc. I obsess over it the same way you do. And I can even recall these stories years later when I'm feeling low, or if I have a symptom that reminds me of a story. Ugh. It sucks. I dont know what there is to do about it. We have to learn to brush things off like other people I guess!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
