Im 20 years old and i have constant heath anxiety. Help :(?

Tell a dr. about all this. There are good meds for anxiety.

I've had cancer twice. The only time I think of it is on this board.

Hello,

Well, I am surprised if you have no normal worries. What about worrying about your boyfriend or girlfriend, your financial situation, the acne spots on your face, your hair-cuts, - something more appropriate to your enviable age.

It must be nice if you have so few "normal" things to worry about, that you can spare so much time on this desperately unlikely stuff.

It's usually doctors in training who get this, - when we first learn about the really rare stuff, we imagine we have it. But in fact, the mortality rate amongst junior doctors is so low that we get sought out by Insurance industry, wanting to insure our lives!

I think once a doctor graduates, and gets actual experience of how very common, minor illnesses are, - then a minor illness always comes first to mind when a patient presents with some complaint.

When I was in practice as a family doctor, I don't think I saw one new case of lymphoma or mouth cancer. Breast cancer is not so rare, I suppose, I did see that.

I don't quite know what would work for you. When I was younger, I was anxious so took up parachuting and skydiving, and ended up doing 300 parachute jumps altogether. When you're doing that, you only worry about whether your parachute is going to open properly, - everything else seems pretty trivial!

There are other hobbies that offer more of this appearance of danger, - perhaps one of those would concentrate your mind, if skydiving does not appeal. Mountaineering or motorcycle riding, or sub-acqua diving, perhaps.

Another good trick is to get acquainted with the modern concept of a "micromort," - that is a risk of dying of exactly one in one million. This is useful for putting risk into perspective. Skydiving carries a risk of 8 micromorts, - the risk of dying is about 8 per million.

Driving a car for 8 hours a day, actually carries twice that risk, - 16 micromorts. This is quite a good article, and has some intersting tables, (click and return), https://utahavalanchecenter.org/blog-what-risk-riding-avalanche-terrain

Or you can search on <micromort> for other enlightening and interesting figures. Riding a motorcycle for one hour a day, - 60 micromorts.

So on the one hand, I'm suggesting you worry about ordinary things more, and also get something 'dangerous' to challenge yourself with. So as to have some good stories to tell your grand-children.

On the other hand, if you want to read up on medical matters, start more at the "common illness" end of the spectrum; and you could use "micromort" tables to find out what really *is* risky in this world.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

It might not be pregnancy, as you are still young, periods are still irregular, I've had periods for over 3 years and they still aren't that regular... I've sometimes had those same fears, although I've never had a pregnancy test. Trying to explain this, I'm going to believe you when you say you've never had sex... going to the most extreme, is there any moment at all that you don't remember... because it could be possible you were drugged and raped and don't know about it. This is the only rational explanation as it is impossible to be pregnant without sex. Take another test then see your doctor... then speak to your parents but leave that till last because you don't want to cause unnecessary discomfort. If you are pregnant, think carefully about abortion, I personally am against it... I believe that every living thing should have a chance in life... even if you put it up for adoption, I will say no more about that I hope you will let us know what happens good luck xxx

At least you recognise your problem for what it is - severe anxiety.
That is all that is wrong with your health and you should be seeking treatment for this condition.

So get help for your anxiety.

What happens if you live to be 100 without nothing more than a cold or flu? Where would all of that senseless worrying get you? Nowhere. Stop worrying and start living. Speak to your doctor about seeing a psychiatrist. You will thank yourself when you are older and wiser.

If it helps I've had a small lymph node on my neck for about 4 years now hasn't bothered me and the doctor told me it was nothing, just stay calm if you feel you have symptoms that are scaring you see a doctor but don't be constantly worried, what is written for you is written get on with life and forget the anxiety! I'm sure this will pass I always experience the same thing

Im 20 years old and i have constant heath anxiety. Help :(? According to Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov, vodka dries one's brains. Smoking is censer for the devil. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as aliens. Vaccines, IVs, tooth fillings, cosmetics, certain foods and drinks, etc. contain nanochips and/or cells of aborted fetuses; intake of which leads to demon possession. If a dog is present in house or church, then the Holy Spirit will leave. Foul language calls upon Pagan deities (demons); Holy Spirit departs on seven meters. Blood contains sins; don't donate blood; don't accept blood transfusion yourself. Raw celandine (juice) cures cancer in minute amounts (like eating a leaf a day for 10 days, taking a break for 10 days, repeating three times); store this raw juice in dark glass container in a fridge for up to 2 or 3 years; add only hot water if you don't want to drink it cold; collect older celandine that is at least 20 meters away from the river from morning until 3 PM. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Chanting mantras leads to demon possession; it's not the words that get you possessed; it's the rhythm. Meditation, hypnosis, astral projection, etc. lead to demon possession. Demons pretend to be ghosts and aliens. Barcode is Druid black magic curse. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Oral, anal, masturbation, porn, fornication, adultery, fetishes, cross dressing, etc. lead to demon possession. Sionists want to be the only white people. So, they promote contraceptives (early abortion), interracial marriage, homosexuality, abortion (aborted babies go to hell for 33 and a half years and a demon is freed from hell), etc. America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Sionists want to attack Iran. So, they need an excuse, which will be the Statue of Liberty. New Sodom (New York) will be flooded after an explosion in the sea; New Gomorah (Los Angeles) will follow after. Look at what Seraphim Rose had to endure. He was a homosexual, but repented. Now, he is one the great saints of the Orthodox Church. Pray to Seraphim Rose; he'll help you. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level. They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Since antichrist (born to a 12th generation prostitute, flying, big-nailed, gloved, pale-faced, red-eyed, Satan-possessed since he's 12 years old, homosexual man from the tribe of Dan, who wears blue robe over left shoulder while red/pink robe is underneath just like Jesus, and is surrounded by demons but people see angels of light) is around, there is no need for disputes. 666 is not forgivable; it leads to permanent hell. 666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card). Police 666 people on highways. Food stores and prisoners (released by the antichrist) 666 people too. Reject vaccines. Don't go into UFO to be healed by demons. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you. Stay away from cats because one can receive mark of the beast because of cats. Pray the Jesus prayer slowly all the time: "Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner". Sleep fully clothed; also, pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Dress appropriately for your gender. Women wear non-revealing dresses and head-scarfs tied at the front; no pants and no hats for women. Men wear pants and hats (outside only, except priests). Don't get any tattoos. Reject new documents and vaccines. Ask Orthodox Christian priest to bless your house. Get rid of all Occult stuff (ouija boards, talismans, amulets, barcodes, skulls, masks, astrology books, tarot cards, etc.). To break any curse, pray slowly the Psalm "The LORD is my light and my salvation" 40 times a day for 40 straight days. That's 1600 times in total. Forgive me. :)
