Always Think Im Ill Posted: 01-14-06 13:44pm
Hi, I just want to know wether this is a
symptom of anxiety but I always think
theres something wrong with me medically.
Wheather it's cancer, a life threatning
virus ect as soon as I manage to get one
out of my head somethings in the paper,
newes or a tv show and off I go again. I
worry myself sick, think about it
constantly, and as soon as I know what the
symptoms are I either a)belive I already
have them or b)then belive i'm developing
them. Right now I keep thinking I might
have something like hiv, whitch started by
whatching an episode of er and before this
I thought I had a brain tumor after
whatching a made for tv film. Does anyone
else experience this? And is it a symptom
of anxiety? Also any way I can stop this
vicious cycle? I think its triggered
whenever im away from home as it happend a
couple of years ago on holiday with
friends and has started again now that
i've started university miles from home.
All help appreciated.

Thankyou for you your advice, and I will
definatly try it out, but do you have any
advice on how to combat this negative
thought process, and if this is a symptom
of anxiety?

Since you said it gets triggered when your
away from home, it leads me to believe you
maybe experiencing a sign of being home
sick which is apart of anxiety. I hope
that helps.

Wow I didn't realise that home sickness
was apart of anxiety and I fell very
homesick especially when im alone in my
room at night, but what can I do about it
I can't leave my uni. I have friends at
uni but like I said its when im alone this
creeps up on me. I feel lost and very
helpless.

Alot of people feel just like you when
going into a new environment. You just
have to know that it's not uncommon, and
as you get more comfortable with your
university the better you'll feel about
being away from home. Just know that it's
not uncommon to feel this way. Being
comfortable is the key so if you can
master that I dont see why you can't stay
at your university. But if you can never
feel comfortable, have you thought about
going to a school closer to home?

I'd love to go to one closer to home but
the uni im at is the best one for what im
studying, even though since going I
haven't been performing to my best at all,
its like I lost all my motivation, I don't
sleep either just feel like eveyday im
going through the motions. When I look
back all this anxiety stared about a week
after first going to uni.

Yeah, it can be the best for what your
studying, but is it the best for you?
That's what you have to take into account.
Your not going to recieve the full
college education if your mind isn't into
what you plan on studying. I suggest you
take a break and het your priorities
leveled, then make a decision afterwards.
