i think i have anxiety. i've had the same symptoms for a while now. these symptoms seemed to happen when i started turning into a teen and i was going through changes and stuff [i'm 15 now]. i'm always scared for my health. i always think i'm gonna get cancer, have a stroke, have a heart attack. sometimes, i even think that i'm gonna have like a breakdown or something that will lead to amnesia or something. if i see someone on tv with an illness, i will mistakingly make myself have those symptoms so that i can go to the doctors to see if i have it. i've told my parents about it, and they laugh and tell me that i'm a self diagnoser or i'm overreacting. the littlest things will tick me off, like veins, blood, something happening to someone else, or just sitting in complete silence. sometimes, on bad days, i will be seriously afraid of getting a shower/bath because i'm afraid that something really bad is going to happen to me ie. heart attack, stroke, or panic attack. i'm really frustrated and i don't know what to do. i don't really have time to meditate because i'm so piled up with homework, school, my new puppy, and other things that make me even more stressed. what can i do when i feel an attack coming on...and how can i be more brave in situations like getting in the shower, being in the house by myself, and just doing normal things? also, i know exactly what triggers my attacks. i'll be either thinking too much, worried about my health, or worried about schoolwork.
