Why am I so Paranoid?


I worry too much about everything! I am paranoid to eat certain foods fearing they will cause diseases or cancers in the long run. If I see anything slightly abnormal on my body my heart starts pumping and I think maybe I have an illness and will die soon. Every time I rub deodorant on I fear it'll cause Alzheimer鈥檚. I fear my cell phone will give me brain cancer eventually or I'll have a brain aneurism and die like my mom. All these fears of death started sometime after my mom passed a year ago, am I just traumatized? I am only 25 and I just want to relax and live.

Pump up your intake of antioxidant rich foods such as those rich in Vitamins A, C, E, Selenium and Zinc and the foods rich in the Essential Fatty Acids ~ antioxidants are the little soldiers in our bodies that give up their lives for the free radicals (mutated cells) to give them life and make them whole again ............. by doing this you will be protecting your body against disease and bolstering your immunity. Our immune systems protect us from a lot of disease and illness if we bolster and support it properly 鈾?br>
You can only do the best with what you have hun 鈾?Just try to avoid the gross junky foods and soft drinks, eat as freshly and naturally as poss. Ditch the pre packaged junk foods .............. which i'm sure you already have 鈾?br>
Drink loads of fresh filtered water and hydrate your body properly as the happiest and healthiest body is always going to be the most hydrated one 鈾?br>
You can buy deoderants at the health food store that are aluminium free and chemical free for a minimal outlay of money 鈾?br>
Perhaps meditation or yoga would relax your mind and body and help you to live in the moment and not panic about things that are beyond your control?? Stress does horrible things to our bodies if we let it 鈾?br>
use your cell phone perhaps as little as poss and mainly rely on sms messaging?? That, i believe is a very real fear..... you are focusing too much on the negative instead of releasing your daily stresses and chilling out and relaxing at the end of each day............. try a warm bath with a few drops of organic pure essential lavender oil in it. Lavender oil can create calm and order from mental chaos to harmonise and balance every aspect of our bodies and minds. It reduces stress and calms the nervous system, lifts depression and eases headaches and insomnia.

Caution: Avoid using if you are pregnant for the first 4 months ~ longer if there is a history of miscarriage.

Lavender has been used for thousands of years and is safe, versatile and gentle and may be used undiluted over small areas 鈾?br>
The loose leaf organic variety of chamomile is a wonderfull relaxant brewed up as a tea ~ organic because the essential oils are still so rich as opposed to the commercial and tea bag varieties which have had so much goodness pulverised from them that they could never possibly be used for therapeutic purposes. Besides, the essential oils in organic herb varieties are so rich that even after the leaves are spent you can simply refill with hot water a couple more times and re brew, thus really getting value for your money.

2 teaspoon per pot should suffice and a strong cup of chamomile should relax and calm your frazzled nervous system. Chamomile is one of the safest and most widely used herbs and is renowned for being a powerful relaxant and is an excellent treatment for anxiety and stress ............ and has long been known to help insomnia 鈾?br>
Take a multi B complex supplement to support a healthy neural, immune and digestive system. Get one including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they all work best as a group. The B complex of vitamins is essential for combatting stress and bolstering our immune, neural and digestive systems and will help you deal with the daily dramas of just living 鈾? They are a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither produce or store them... therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis 鈾?br>
Chin up hun, try to get some special you time each day and enjoy your life........... i'm so sorry about your mom passing 鈾?i know how hard it is. My dear old dad died when i was only 28 and he suffered for a long time ~ the pain will eventually subside but your mom will always be in your heart and you will find the strength and peace of mind to go on believe me 鈾?br>
please take care of you 鈾?br>

CHEERS Report It

Well you obviously seem to know that these fears are ridiculous, so just tell that to yourself.

Perhaps you should see a psychologist, and don't worry, it doesn't mean your crazy, you just have a problem and need to talk to someone who knows what they're doing more than a trusted friend would.

see a psychologist
there must be a reason for all this

I would say this is anormal reaction to something like your mums death, i'm guessing by your age that your mum died young and unexpected? Would your mum want you to waste your life away worrying? Its a sad fact that it doesnt seem to matter wether you try your hardest to be healthy or you have no respect for your body these days, that it gets us all...so until that time we must enjoy evey second we have!

Maybe you need somthing to believe in and trust? but remember to eat healthy anyway.
Its all in your head!!!!!!!!!! So just use some brain and dont tnk about eveything so much.

I had the exact same thing happen and ran to doctor to doctor to see what was wrong., If i didn't open the milk or didn't remember I would think it might have poison in it, I was rubbing the back of my neck and there is a normal bump there i panic and was sure it was cancer.all of what you said and more, But I finally found a Doc' that understand what was going on, mine was getting out of a very abusive relationship where i was scared all the time, but this is scarier because you don't know why your feeling like this. So Doc put me on an antidepressant with anxiety meds.and I stared feeling like a normal person again, Your Mom passing was traumatising, It's called post traumatic stress disorder. So Your OK alot of people have this problem or panic attacks or generalised anxiety disorder. So go get help you will fell so much better. and just knowing your not the only one helps. I typed fast so I hope I made sense good luck

Welcome to my world. I also live this life of anxiety and paranoia - you sound very much like me, except that I also have germophobia on top of my other fears. Your mother's death was probably the trigger for your health anxiety. You may need to see a therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc. to help get it under control. I have been dealing with mine for a long time, without getting professional help for it, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. I suggest anyone suffering with it (and as I'm sure you'll agree - we do suffer) to seek professional help - preferably from someone who specializes in it. You can try to manage it yourself - but I'll tell you, it isn't easy. Here's a few links to read and learn more about health anxiety. I really encourage you to read all the way through at least some, if not all of them. You will realize that a) you are not alone and b) what you're going through is a serious condition and it's not funny - despite people who make fun of the paranoias that people with health anxiety suffer.

Best wishes hon. Don't let this take over your life and steal your joy. Dealing with this can also destroy relationships because people get sick of hearing things from you that they think are ridiculous or "crazy". You don't want this to happen, either. You're only 25 and there are many happy years to be had. Take care of yourself and seek out someone to work with you.
