Unhappy Anxiety and Paranoia in one

Hi!

A long story short:
I used to get treated for anxiety attacks, etc and some minor paranoia (mainly because of my past) and now I thought everything was fine.... but turns out its not so.

I feel paranoid overy literally everything and anxious most of the time when I think about things. Don't get me wrong, but if I am not thinking about something, I am not very anxious. I over think all 'pains', if I have a headache I start getting paranoid it could be a tumor ( I also had to get treated because of my constant headaches but they couldnt find anything), etc.

I thought I could get better if I started to rationalize things, make everything logical, but it doesnt help...

I really dont want to go back on medication...

Re: Anxiety and Paranoia in one

I believe the problem is you dwell on the small symptoms. I cannot blame you as I used to also but you have to begin telling yourself that it is anxiety and you have to believe it it's not just you say it and it works. Everyday for a few weeks I could come up with some new disease I 'had' so I completely understand.

First of all I will tell you something I posted in another post. The pains you have only when you think about it correct? If so think of it this way - If you had a broken leg it would hurt no matter what (even if you don't have bad pain you will probably still limp) but it would hurt more when you think about it. Well, it's the same way with this as you begin to worry about it the symptoms become worse correct? If it was something life threatening it would definately be a pain all the time.

I had a headache for two weeks (still have it at times) and it is from worrying and being bored. Both of those can cause a headache because of the tensing up of muscles in the neck, back, should, etc. Once I came to that realization they started going away because I started to do stuff such as exercise again (my first 'attack' came from exercise so I was scared of it). Also this reasoning can be why they didn't find anything.

Some tips to help reduce these are exercise, eat healthy, accept the anxiety, along with many other things. There is so much I can type about this so if you have any other questions just post.
