Health anxiety

***To be clear, officially I havent got a diagnosis. 

This morning I got up with a migraine, not unusual, but it was a befuddled heavy feeling. I walked to work and still felt yuck. 

Pulled up to see someone, and while waiting my nose got itchy, Like a booger tugging on a nose hair. Thats when all the dried evidence of a bleeding nose started coming out. 

I went home and tried to clean it up as best I could. My brain of course was thinking about catastrophes. Brain Tumour. Eye cancer. More bleeding noses. 

My brain only needs to think about it for a split second, or label the worst possible things, to have it there and eventually take over. IT IS NOT A Voice. My internal monologue is doing the normal thing.... considering the day, feeling cute in the outfit I chose, thinking about future things like birthdays and chiropractors. 

Then I start my drive to work, and panic attack. While Im driving. What I noticed, it was not super severe as my Januray 2nd. Possibly due to the fact it was only a bleeding nose. There werent as many worries that my brain flitted to as possible health outcomes. 

Health anxiety is going to be my next hyperfocus. I would like to find someone who has it and actually talk about what can work. I am not idolistic and believing it will go away, just things to help myself. I am old enough to know it is a life thing. Life has a way of desintegrating the vessel you arrived in, and as it does, I will enter more panic attacks.
