I know how you feel. I worry about my health sooo much. The littlest thing like a pain in my chest will make me think I have a heart problem or if I get an ache in my head I think I have a tumor. I always feel that the worst case scenario is occurring to me with my body. What I usually do to relax is to trust my body and know that it’s working to keep me healthy, and I remind myself that the last time I went to the doctor I was announced healthy. I know it’s super hard and I’m struggling too, but try your hardest to keep a positive mindset and think about what you do know about your body and not the unknown. Don’t Worry about the fear until it actually happens. I know it’s hard, I believe in you

Thank you for your kind words. But what if this isn't just OCD and it's actually MS? I really feel some sort of heavy feeling in my leg. I don't whether I should see my doctor or not. I hate this.. I hope you're also doing well..

@maxt32 That’s normal that you believe you have MS. I’m always certain that I have a disease if something feels off, so I totally get it. Do you ever talk to Your doctor about your ocd? If you have then you should bring it up and they would be able to check and see and tell you if you are okay. If you haven’t spoken to them about your ocd then you should. My doctor has helped me a lot with my health concern

@emmaann No I haven't. At the moment I just want to make sure I don't have MS.. I have had 2 panic attacks in 2 days now, so it's getting really out of hand. I still have the weird feeling in my leg and it isn't going away. I don't know if I'm making these symptoms up or that the symptoms are really symptoms. How do you deal with this?

@maxt32 I try and reassure myself the best I can. I know exactly how you feel. What I deal with is constant chest pains in my heart area, and I’m afraid that it is something wrong with my heart. Whenever the anxiety comes on I try and think logically. I tell myself that it could be growing pains or anxiety pains. Or I’ll distract myself from the awareness of the pain by triggering other things, like the thoughts of school or the responsibilities I have to take my focus onto things that might over rule the present fear. But I totally do the same thing and it’s so interesting to see someone else deal with something so similar. Talking about it right now makes me think it’s not a big deal, but when I get the moment of anxiety it’s the biggest deal ever. It’s so easy for me to say “distract yourself” and “think logically” but I know how hard it is. I’m even saying right now but I can’t even fully succeed with doing that. It takes time. I’m working too and it’s so so hard and I really hope you can get through this. Try those things to hopefully over time it could help. For right now, I would talk to your doctor. You could make an appointment or even email. They will give you information on MS or check you and see if your symptoms seem serious. If you really want to make sure you don’t have it, that might be the best thing to do

@emmaann Thank you so much for your comments. I'm happy that I'm not the only one going through this. Feel very bad for you bc all these 'symptoms' feel so goddamn real, it's unbelievable. I'm going to give myself some time to get control over this. If not, I'll make an appointment at my doctor. Together we can get trough this.. ?
