Nose Bleed - Anxiety Message Board

Okay-I am freaking out. I am at work and just had a nose bleed. I have a fear that I ma bleeding from a brain tumor or aneurysm. I know this sounds insane. Can someone please tell me HOW to get over this??? I also feel crazy, like I am not myself, however its mental/not so much physical. I am getting fed up with all these mental obsessions. Ive been to therapy three times but it hasnt phased me yet. Does it take a while for therapy to work?? All I do is talk and the therapists listens-I havent really gotten a lot of advice from him yet. When is he gonna start talking??? I sick of feeling like a have something wrong with my head. Every little symptom i get i relate it back to that. Maybe I should just get the head scan that the doctor prescribed, but I ma scared of it. He said to get it done to prove to me that there is "nothing up there" in my head. Not because he thinks something is wrong. Someone please help.

First of all calm down...I know easier said than done....but a lot of things can cause a nose blood.
Allergies, sinus problems, dry stale air, just to name a few.

As for the therapy question I really can't answer that.
Therapy was a waste of time and money for me...even so called "works for everyone" forms of therapy didn't do a thing for me.
But therapy works wonders for some people, my best advice is to stick with it for a while longer and see how you feel about it then.
