Message: <blockquote data-quote="ashbash28" data-source="post: 1656158" data-attributes="member: 461211"><p>Hi everyone, me again. My health anxiety is really getting to me now and I'm so worried about everything. Some days I'm of the mindset 'let's beat this diabetes!', then other days, I'm so panicky about having a heart attack I feel like ending things before my body has a chance to put me through that. Basically, I'm 28...I have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and am obese. I am really trying to lose weight and eat better etc but even if I have one bad thing, I'm worried I will give myself a heart attack but equally if I don't eat enough I'm worried that it'll have the same outcome. I keep having discomfort in my left arm and my chest but had this probably to a worse extent before having diabetes and the gp put it down to my anxiety but now I'm worried that it wasn't. So in conclusion, I'm just having a bit of a meltdown, worried that I'm doing everything wrong and that I may have a heart attack. It is my biggest fear in life and while I know people have them, survive and all is okay, I'm just so frightened. Sorry for the dramatics, I just don't have anyone to talk to that understands.</p></blockquote><p></p>
