Anxiety (Including GAD)

Anyone have severe health anxiety and hypochondria!? So for the last couple months my anxiety has been so out of control! I've had every type of cancer according to my anxiety! Just had a big scare with cervical cancer, Dr found a growth on my cervix. Test came back yesterday and it was fine! Just a polyp. But now he wants to cut a growth on my chest off because he's concerned it's skin cancer! I have like 3 of those growths so I'm freaking out! I have post nasal drip and it makes my voice hoarse, every single day! Only drinking water helps and it don't last long. So I've convinced myself it must be like thyroid, vocal,sinus or lung cancer! I also go next week for a fibroscan! To see how much damage I have. I kno I have some damage because of blood tests and ultrasound, but I'm so scared I'm going to have cirrhosis or worse! There is so many things going on with me right now and idk how to handle it! I have severe stomach issues because of all this stress! And headaches, dizziness at times, wobbly shaky legs, pins and needles in my feet and hands, heart racing and palpitations, pain in my legs, sides and stomach! It's so bad I can't go out and do anything I use to like to do! I think I have agoraphobia now! I never wanna leave my house! I feel so bad for my husband and kids! Having to put up with me. I wish they could do one magical test that showed if u had any kind of cancer! Or other health issues! So I could just go ahead and kno what I have and get it over with! Sorry for the long post! But I'm going crazy! So scared. 😔

I'm having a hard time at the moment, just needing someone to talk to! To explain further, I lost my dad in June of last year to cancer. Then my brother went missing in August of last year. His disappearance is under investigation, and they found his remains in July of this year. They are still trying to find out his cause of death. So many things do not add up. They believe foul play is at hand. Also, either between now and February 2nd, I will be having a total hip replacement. I am struggling to keep above water here. I can barely get out of bed some mornings and can not be on me feet for a long period of time or even walk very far.

Dealing with Fainting Episodes Due to Anxiety

Help! Having a Panic Attack and Feeling Scared

One suggestion from the replies is to force oneself outside of the house as staying inside all day can exacerbate feelings of depression. Finding genuine reasons to get out of bed and go somewhere, such as a yoga class, painting, a job, or even just driving around for fun can help. Another advice is to take some vitamin D supplements during winter as there is a strong link between vitamin D deficiency and **anxiety** as well as depression. Being outside as much as possible, even if it's cold, can also help as small amounts of vitamin D can be obtained even without direct sunlight.
