Constant anxiety

[Alhope4]

The past like week or so I have just felt "off"... I keep thinking that since its been almost 13 years since ive V* that im over due for it. Im getting "stomach aches" and anxiety daily because of these thoughts. My coworkers son also has the stomach flu and im terrified i somehow got it also. Im just so scared of *V... I hate taking klonopin on a daily basis or even a regular basis but lately ive just been in constant panic and worry that maybe this stomach ache will be the one that actually makes me sick i just need advice from people that understand... Im frustrated. I hate not having control over *V.. The constant what ifs. someone please give me some hope and or advice... Greatly appreciated!

I know it's tough, but you are not due for sv. It may happen and if it does, you'll cope, but that doesn't make you due. Just like there is no due for ingrown toenails, there is no due for sv either. I know it's hard to see it as the same, but it really is in a way. The emet mind can play tricks on the person. If you haven't had sv for such a long time, you have really good hygiene. Just keep up what you're doing. It will be okay.

Grace gave a lot of good advice.

Are you doing therapy or cbt? Are you using anxiety meds that are not benzos like paxil or something? HUGS It will get better.
