So I have bad health anxiety. It used to cause severe panic attacks, obsessive googling, an irrational fear of various diseases and health issues plaguing my mind, I body scan and worry etc. 

I got control of it this time last year and actually was doing really well without any meds! I have been very proud of myself. Occasionally it would come up but I'd manage it!

A few days ago I had an ovarian cyst rupture that had me in the emergency room. It was really scary and the Dr definitely triggered my anxiety by telling me all the things it could be before discovering what it was. It was very reminiscent (to me as a trigger) of what started my health anxiety 2 years ago. A Dr. had misdiagnosed my concussion as a brain bleed and told me to drive myself to the hospital to get an MRI, but the hospotal told me they can't do that and sent me home where I thought I was dying from a brain bleed for a whole week before my parents took me to another Dr. So it was pretty traumatic for me and this experience, though not the same, was a trigger. 

The Dr. Sent me home with some pain meds and said "if it still hurts bad in a few days you can come back". I had several ultra sounds and they shoved a camera up my vagina. The drs were very kind and thorough and said they couldn't see anything amiss therefore it must have been one ovarian cyst that ruptured. 

My friend who is pregnant and has HAD inter AL bleeding has ASSURED me they would have seen and dealt with any bleeding if it was there. But I can't shake it out of my head!
I'm still sore and that's not helping. I'm not sore enough for meds so I'm sure it's just the healing process but in my anxiety brain it's because of bleeding. I even googled it which is a big no no for me. If I Google I go crazy. 

Now I can feel panic attacks coming on. Especially if I'm laying down and get up and my head swirls - what is a normal thing now makes me think I'm light headed from loss of blood or something. 
I can't shake it. 

It makes me so scared and I live alone. I got lucky when it ruptured I happened to be with my mom, but now I'm back at my own house scared I'm going to die
