Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

I'm new to this group but have been experiencing such bad anxiety lately concerning my health and everyone's health around me. Today I went to the ER because I was experiencing some bleeding on my rectum (tmi I'm sorry). they told me my vitals are fine that it is a Hemorrhoid and there's nothing theyre concerned about. I'm sitting here at home thinking that I'm actually dying. I can't eat and that's unusual for me, I can't sleep because I keep thinking if I do I'm gonna die. I can't help but keep crying and telling my bf that I love him because I feel like we won't see each other again. Crying as I write this, feeling all alone and really scared right now.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.
Take a moment to write out options - once you are aware of the 'normal' readouts from the ER, that takes a lot of the fear away.
Write about what you fear, and then face it head on!
Sorry you are going through a rough time. Drink plenty of water and add fiber foods to your diet. Should take care of the issue you are having.
As @Mid said, keep writing it out. Writing will help lessen the anxiety.
You are going to be okay.
I think talking it over with your doctor or nurse that may help you but you have started all ready by talking on here. Good luck and stay safe.
