hi everyone,
thank you so much for your replies to my panic about my medical concerns. i'm still freaked out and keep trying to self diagnose myself. unfortunately i have also been reading my horosocope which has me freaked as they said thursday was going to be a bummer, great i think bad news from the doctor. i don't know why i do this to myself. i've been driving myself crazy and have been on every website possible trying to figure out what's going on. i'm trying to be positive and not lose it, now i'm going to be freaking out everytime the phone rings, maybe i'll leave for the week....lol...thanks for making me feel welcome and hearing me paniic.

You will be fine, Katie. Many of us can relate to what you're feeling. I have found that keeping myself physically & mentally active keeps the anxious thoughts away. We love having you visit us, but I advise that you quit visiting so many websites. All the info & misinformation can add fuel to anxiety & become a real trigger for even more. I don't even read the drug inserts that come with my prescriptions. If I do, I will *think* I have every side effect listed. Sometimes we have to police ourselves & say, *enough is enough.* Keep thinking positively. Make a list of affirmations. I am ok. I will be fine. This is anxiety & nothing more. I am going to have a great day. Etc. Read it whenever the negative thoughts sneak in. Good luck! (((hugs))) jan

Katie, you need to stop researching your symptoms :)
