Hi im new, and could use some advice :)

Hi as i mentioned in the title im new to the forums :), im 21 and have suffered from panic attacks for just over a year. I often suffer from Depersonalization / Derealism which thankfully is gradually getting better.

Currently i find myself scanning myself for any problems and being constantly aware of anything that could be wrong and having a totally paranoid irrational thought to what that problem could be. For example: I wake up with dizziness and a headache i then start to think i have a brain tumor or some form of cancer. These feelings of utter terror are so strong, its as if they where true.

Does anyone else suffer from this sort of thing, constantly worried about there health and if they have some sort of terminal illness?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Yes i feel like it all the time, i have some days when i feel fine but some days i wake up and feel like i have the whole world on my shoulders and i spend the day checking myself over and normally i have got some terminal disease by the end of the day!!!! I am currently taking fluxetine and a few years ago i had cbt which rally helps x
