Not sure how to condense my issue into a headline but tried my hardest. 

I guess this is a vent but also trying to see if there's anyone out there with similar anxieties that can relate and perhaps advise on anything that's helped (therapy etc) and also would be comforting to know I'm not alone in this irrational fear.

Since I can remember I've been terrified of injuring myself in any way no matter how small. I've always actively avoided any situation where I could be in harms way, never joined in any contact sports as a child even though I enjoyed being active. I have early memories of being on the coast with friends and they were jumping from a small height into the water and I refused to partake because what if I landed wrong and split my stomach open, or hit my head on the way down and drowned?

It's got to the point where I'll feel a pain in my chest or arm and convince myself I'm about to have a cardiac arrest. I refuse to go with my partner on his motorbike as all I can think of is crashing and breaking my bones in a horrific way or getting a head injury and becoming a vegetable. I also don't drive because of this reason which has impacted my freedom and job prospects.

I'm especially scared of "random/unforseen" illnesses such as an aneurysm or blood clot, even though I'm healthy young and fit with absolutely no history of anything like this happening. It's consumed my thoughts to the point I need valium/nytol to sleep because at night all I can think about is dying in my sleep or slipping into a coma.

It doesn't help that I'm obsessed with shows such as 999: What's your Emergency and 24 Hours in A&amp;E, I know I shouldn't watch them but I'm so morbidly curious and certain scenes will stay in my head with me thinking "Could that happen to me??"

It feels good just typing this, I'd love to talk to anyone who feels similar in any aspect just to know I'm not alone.
