Kevaannnn342, have you considered talking to a therapist for anxiety? You posted yesterday that you thought you had a brain tumor, and so I was just concerned that you are maybe developing a form of hypochondria. A therapist might be helpful in calming your anxieties.
As I said to your other post, I would suggest doing what you DO have control over, such as eating the diet that you are supposed to be eating for your fatty liver. Keeping at a healthy weight, etc. You said your diet is "still pretty bad". But you are an adult and you have complete control over what you eat and not eat. Taking good care of your physical health is a good step toward your overall well being. I wish you all the best.

I have had severe Hypochondria ever since being diagnosed with Fatty Liver. I live in an area with very poor health care. That being said, most doctors dont seem to take anxiety seriously around here. Ive always been afraid of death due to illness because ive lost so many close family members to silent illnesses. It truly is horrible having health anxiety, and im surrounded by people who dont understand it. So i find myself posting on forums for reassurance hoping it helps.

A lot of people with OCD have issues with health and contamination-related anxiety. It's not uncommon. I believe I have OCD and I've gone through periods in my life where I had some pretty severe health anxiety, too. I was once truly convinced I was dying. Went to the hospital and was put on oxygen and a heart monitor for several hours. Turned out to be a massive panic attack.

Are there any therapists in your area that specialize in OCD? I feel like you may be taken more seriously there.

I may have to do some research but not that I know of. I live in a really small town with a money hungry hospital and healthcare system that doesnt give 2 craps about their patients. Any decent healthcare is 2 hours away. I know what you mean though. Health anxiety is horrible and it does unimaginable things to your body. Sometimes I wish there was a switch to shut anxiety off like some uninformed people that think thats what anxiety is.

I do understand that you may live in an area/city that does not have good therapists available. There are therapists online, by phone, by text, by Skype, etc. Maybe you could look into that and see what comes up for you.

In the meanwhile, do what you can to keep your health at it's very best. Having some control will help calm your anxieties in general. Anxiety is a lot based on not having control. But you do have at least some control over what you eat, the amount of exercise you do, how much sleep you get, etc.

I do understand about anxiety wreaking havoc on your physical body as well as to our minds. Maybe it would be worth talking to your doctor about going on an SSRI? Some of those meds are good at numbing the anxious feelings. Hang in there and wishing you the best.

first, just breathe, just breathe. dont think of anything, just focusing on your breath.
Okay, I hoped that help calm you down from the panic attack. Im so sorry your going through this, it seems though you are trying your best to do better, perhaps focus on that. And slowly take steps to improve your diet. I also have a lot of health problems and my diet isnt the best, its definitely a work in progress. Know your not alone, sending warm hugs

Steadying support while you wait out the blood test and beyond.

Vent freely. Vent often. Holding that anxiety in only gives it a chance to grow larger than life. Listening. . .

You are not alone.

All the posts I've read on hear it seems like anxiety has a lot of bad effect on the body. I wish that anxiety could be turned off as well because it is annoying. It makes you think the worst out of every situation. When a person like a doctor or an officer say or do anything it make you cringe inside in thoughts that you will be the next person. Correct? It does not help watching the news on television about someone being shot or hurt by an officer because then it will make you feel that you will be the next victim.

Since the fatty liver incident it had made you suffer with a lot fear that something is wrong with your body and no doctor is telling you anything and that you are being avoided by them. Maybe there is nothing there but no one can convince that there is nothing wrong. It is sad that the anxiety will make you think really bad stuff.

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. I battled a bout of crippling anxiety and didn’t even realize it until I was recovering. I went from a high risk pregnancy to a dangerous delivery to an emergency gall bladder removal and then a few years later got hit with “you remember I said it was a slight chance of you having MS...well ya hit the jackpot!” I was so paranoid after that I just stopped going to the doctors. What I later discovered is that knowledge is power. You have a fatty liver. Since you KNOW that, you can change that. Keep your medical care up with your annuals and if there is something that runs in your family that freaks you out talk to your doctor. Breast cancer runs rampant in my family so I had my girls mapped out so I have the tools to identify bad lumps now. Also, even if it is online, therapy can teach you tools to wrestle back control when the anxiety spikes. Good luck!
