I'm back :(

I was doing so well too...
My anxiety started after I had my second child 7 months ago and then I started having breast pain and just knew I was dying of breast cancer. I went to tons of doctors and then a specialist who told me they could not find anything wrong with me and just like that I was better. The breast pain and anxiety went away for a month or longer. Then the breast pain is back and I am googling like crazy and worrying. I clearly see on the pictures that the pain I feel is muscle but I can't get that through my head.
I hate feeling like this. Every little symptom I have of any problem, I assume I am dying. I hate, hate, hate it.

i'm sorry your anxiety has returned.
Hi,
I am taking Zoloft, I forgot to mention that. I had an appointment to meet with a therapist but I was doing so well I thought that I cancelled it but now I need to call again. I know my grandmother has had anxiety all her life really bad so I guess I am getting it from her too. I just hate worrying.

Tina excessive worry seems to be a common denominator in all of us suffering from anxiety. No words of wisdom but you are not alone.

It's nice to see you again, Tina. Sure wish it was under better circumstances. I can certainly relate to putting an intrusive thought to bed & having it reappear. Don't allow it to get you down. It goes with anxiety territory. Keep it in perspective. Give it a certain amount of time & move on. Focusing on it will only keep you frustrated. Try very hard not to google health info. As my gramma always said to me, *don't borrow trouble.*
Here is a recent article that has alot to say about worry & how to put it in it's place. http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-bhpanic&msg=21511.1&ctx=0
Hi. I will read that and hopefully it helps a little. The problem I am finding is that my pain is real but the drs are trying to make it seem like it isn't but I know it is, know what I mean? So every time it hurts, my minds starts wandering and I start googling...lol.
I'll write more tomorrow-my baby is up already.

I guess the doctors are thinking they have done everything they could from a medical standpoint to assure me I am not dying but I refuse to believe it. They keep saying it is muscle related from picking up my son who is disabled and weighs 50 pds and holding a 7 mth old but I can't think rational these days.
I am going to call the therapist today for sure.

Hi Tina!

Hi,
I won't be able to make it to chat tonight :( My son is having a bad day and I am about to bathe him. Thanks for listening everyone-it makes me feel better. I am still convinced I am dying of something but I guess if I have no concrete proof I need to move on for now...
