Just hear me out..

I’m absolutely terrified of brain aneurysms. They scare of crap out of me. You don’t know when they’re going to happen and your chance of survival is low if one ruptures. 

The past week, a friends family member had one and died. A influencer on social media had one and died. I then decided to take a social media break as this was making my anxiety go crazy. 

I then decided to get on Instagram just because I was bored and thought it would be fine. Just for me to see that Dr. Dre had a brain aneurysm. 

Then today, a notification on Reddit popped up for “Trending” it was on medical advice and wouldn’t you know, it was about aneurysms. 

For the past three years I’ve been terrified of them, and I’ve been told they aren’t common. Just everywhere I look I feel like I’m seeing more and more people having them. 

This past week since before I saw any of this I’ve been getting pains in the right of my head. In one place and they last a couple seconds. They are accompanied by pain in my right eye as well. I do have a lot of stress in my life. And although I’m not the healthiest person, I don’t have a family history of brain aneurysms. 

But I’m convinced, I’m convinced that seeing these are a sign and it’s trying to warn me that I’m going to have one. How crazy will a doctor look at me if I go into a ER and tell them this? 

I feel crazy but my anxiety is at an all time high right now and it’s basically impossible to talk myself down from thinking this.
