Earlier this month, I went to the ER because I thought I had something stuck in my trachea.. and I swear to god I did. But as soon as I went to the ER, and went to a suggested pulmanologist about the issue (er people sent me to wrong guy) I felt better about the situation and forgot about it. My mom said it was a coincidence it happened then and you are probably dealing with anxiety and stress. I knew that's what the deal was with my elbow.. but my throat? What the hell? Now nothing's there anymore..
Sometimes you just need somebody to tell you it's going to be ok. That takes a ton of weight off of my shoulders anytime I'm in a pickle. Literally.. anyone can tell me it's going to be fine. Has to be a close "anyone". But even if they are lieing and really don't know it's works wonders for my conscience. Sometimes you gotta talk it out. I personally don't recommend a therapist (but what do I know). Continue talking with your mom or father. I can't talk to my father because he can jump to conclusions way too fast and not hear out some of the "nonsense" I feel like I'm going through.
I figure maybe in your case since your paranoia is so dominant in your thinking.. try the peace, serenity and tranquility sub. OR Zen Mindset. I still have some hurtful and unhealthy thoughts projected onto myself from time to time. Less now than before.. but i just deal with it. It's nothing to worry about. If you let it bother you it could manifest something so be careful. If you continue to be affected emotionally that is a bad thing and you definitely need to seek whatever help you can for it. I was lucky and just used Shannon's subs and not had to go to a therapist.. i still think about it sometimes but not sure if that's the best course of action for me since it's just all irrational bs anyways...
Sounds kind of like hypochondria. That's definitely a strange experience.
Thing is when someone tells me it's going to be ok it never really does much for me. I wish it did. But I always feel this sense of impending doom almost. And it just feels irrational, but it's hard to shake.
Thanks for the suggestions though I'll definitely keep them in mind. The fact is I'm not a professional, nor are my parents. And therapy really can't hurt to try. I can't really form a valid opinion of it unless I actually test it. But that's been my form of learning in life, always giving things a shot before dismissing them.
