Am I crazy??

Coping with bereavement
1

I lost my Dad, July 2020. Prostrate and Bone cancer.

He was diagnosed in 2019 and everything since his diagnosis EVERY ache and pain I have is because ‘I’ve got Cancer’ I’m going out of my mind, thinking I have it. It’s only ever since he was diagnosed.

I’ve got a headache “It must be a tumour”
My bones ache “It must be Bone Cancer” It was Vitamin D deficiency.
I’ve got a sore throat “It must be throat Cancer”

How can I stop thinking like this? Does it stop? Does anyone else feel like this?

Hi Jade…
It sounds as though you have high anxiety, and may need to see your GP…
I lost my husband suddenly of a heart attack, and every little twinge or discomfort I feel in my chest I am thinking ‘am I too going to have the same?’ I am going to make an appointment with my GP for a check up and a talk… I just need reassurance…
Anxiety is natural after a bereavement…
You are not going crazy atall
Hoping you feel a bit calmer soon
Take care
