ReplyDeletePatrick - relax cancer usually appears on your 30's or 40's but running exams to be positive you dont have anything is best to help you sleep at night.. and cancer is heritable meaning it is passed down in the family from generation to generation so try to find out if any of your grandparents had it if they didnt you shouldnt have to be worried but better safe than sorry so go see a doctor and do exams if its concerning you that much

ReplyDeleteAs you have been to see a doctor and had a diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder, I am surprised that you are not following the doctor’s advice about how to deal with this disorder. Of course, if YOU have diagnosed your own condition, with your medical knowledge about the difference between regular worry and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), you must be aware that a person who suffers from Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) experiences a constant, uncontrollable worry and anxiety related to different aspects of life. Although everybody worries to some extent, the difference between regular worry and GAD, is that GAD is stronger, more persistent, occurs more frequently and is harder to control. Furthermore, the anxiety, the worry and the physical symptoms have significant negative consequences for important areas of life - for example, social and occupational areas. Anxiety is a very powerful human emotion, with an original purpose of acting as a warning signal that we need to take quick action and get to safety. For a person suffering from GAD, the anxiety no longer serves that purpose. The anxiety instead has become a persistent unpleasant feeling, mentally as well as physically. The result is that the anxiety more and more controls the affected person's life, which leads to avoiding lots of situations, thoughts and areas of life. This is a clear sign that it is time to begin to question the anxiety. This can be difficult to do without help, so it is a good idea to consult an expert (a psychologist, therapist or doctor). Another possibility is to contact a local and/or internet support group. For people who suffer from GAD, a lot of their time is spent on endless pondering, which often is very negative and includes lots of catastrophic thinking. A way to begin to challenge your anxiety is to start to see a situation from different perspectives. A good starting point is a neutral everyday event. Learning to deal with your destructive thinking is one part of the work, but it is not enough just to do this on a cognitive level. You also need to investigate in which situations the anxiety occurs, focus on which emotions triggers it, and see how the anxiety affects your behaviour. Speak to your parents and try to arrange a consultation with your doctor to decide if you need referring, or if you can deal with the situation by yourself with help from your doctor.
