Can anyone help me with my cycle of anxiety?!


Question: Can anyone help me with my cycle of anxiety?
Recently, i had developed a fear of appendicitis which got me worrying and worrying and got me nowhere. From that fear, sprug another fear of surgery after my mum told me they stuck tubes down your throat, at which point i started to freak out. Then she told me they hooked you up to an automatic breathing machine which is just horrible ( this is my worst fear as i find it creepy, icky and unnatural) and that they cut you open. For a squeamish person that i am, i had developed an anxiety. But then my mum told me this -
- you are fit and healthy
- most people dont undergo operations
- you dont feel anything as you are knocked out
- it is over and done with quickly and unlikely to go wrong.

But what if it does go wrong? What if i vomit and cant breathe? I have never been knocked out before and i would find it scary.
I have been down this route of anxiety before, have seen councillors about my anxiety but yet another anxiety creeps up Me and i just wanna enjoy my life. Can anybody help me?

Answers:

You should try and think about something else that won't cause anxiety to replace the thing that causes you fear. Something you like. You could also try praying to God to help you too. If you don't believe in God then sorry for suggesting that.



a self help book on overcoming worry will help

anxiety can include unwanted thoughts from OCD
