Feeling stuck over panic and getting checked
Im feeling really low, im scared and sad that im here despite all the work i did for years, and i went to the same place i did before. I cant find help for this cause everyone is pushing this idea that "if you want to face panic and recover from it, you have to get checked by a doctor to know that EVERY symptom you have is not a big problem". This is very anxiety fueled, its not possible and its time consuming. I know cause i did that when i started to have anxiety and panic back in 2019. I went to every doctor to se if my symptoms are safe, it consumed time cause symptoms do change alot and its not like you just have one or two. I went to doctors alot, and here is the funny thing, i know that people appreciate doctors, i do too, and people really trust in what they say, but even that my symptoms were caused by anxiety and panic, i still got meds prescribed sometimes or they said something that still made me afraid of my health. One good exemple is that one of my friends has panic now and she went to get checked and its panic but the doctor said if she will have panic in the future it will worsen her health and she can develop hearth problems. True or not i dont care, but how do you face with panic if you think that everytime i have its making me prone to hearth issues? Either they say something that makes you spin more or they find something else that makes you spin. This is my experience. Now im having panic attacks again and the problem is that when i have it, im afraid that there might be a problem and i avoid it to get checked, but i was checked before, it was a long time ago, but bc of these experiences i dont want to go, cause i know it wont solve the problem, then i will get obsessed to check all my symptoms. This doesnt means that i always avoid doctors, not so long ago i had a back pain and i knew that thats not normal and without question i went to get treatment. But with this is different, its lot of symptoms, i know it wont solve it if i just get one done, and theres the possibility that they say something that makes me afraid more. I have alot of bad experiences with doctors,there are good too, but the anxiety related ones are really bad. Not to mention once i got diagnosed with lung fibrosis by a doctor and i was depressed for a whole week until i went to another one and they said im okay... When theres a serious problem i go to get checked but when theres signs that might be anxiety i wont cause they will just tell me things that will make me spin more. So yeah im stuck and spin over my panic, what if im its a real problem, even if its panic what if it will worsen my health, make me develop hearth issues, and i notice too that i want to get reassured cause im sure its panic but i get these what if thoughts and i want to know they arent true... but it will shift to another symptom. So can you share me something that can help me?
