hi im a teenager and i have health anxiety. I self diagnose myself with health problems and it's caused a lot of stress and depression for me . For my past "health problems" i told my mom except every time r i felt like a burden. Whenever I diagnose myself i immediately feel like I'm going to die there was one night recently where i thought i was going to sleep and i would never wake up. I pray to god everyday for help and i know he gives me strength but i struggle to cope still. A week ago my stomach felt really tight and its been like that for 2 weeks and i told my mom she got fed up and said she doesn't care if i fail my exams as long as im healthy that' s all that matters except i dont think i will ever be healthy. On my arm i have a big mole since i was born except i feel like it's cancerous and have been worrying for a month. I dont know what to do because my mom will just get mad and i get really nervous to go to the doctor's. I need advice knowing i know i should tell my mom but i dont have the strength to. I admit the idea of dying scares me and i really enjoy my life except there are times where god plans for it to happen.

I'm not going to pretend to diagnose anyone over the forum. Just for informational purposes, a lack of B complex and blood sugar instability is a common culprit of anxiety. I don't do consultations for those under 18 without parental consent.

If I were a teenager, I would get off the processed foods, sugar and eat more meat and vegetables. Parents and teens can look up together the benefits from a quality B100 complex vitamin plus B12 sublingual/ under the tongue. I would keep a journal of everything I eat and whoever anxiety sets in. That can reveal a food sensitivity and trigger.
Most medical Drs don't study nutrition. They like drugs. I know people who have been given psychiatric drugs for life but never informed about the information provided in the previous paragraph. Let your folks read it too. I will pray for you. It's a tough.thing to go through. Hope you find relief soon my friend.

She does not want to be like me, on five different prescription meds. The psychiatrists never warn you about the side effects, just major side effects, like ones the cause death or something really serious. They will basically medically make someone impotent, so they don’t have any children.

Hi Quinn, you need to know that fear is not of God, in fact hundreds of times in the Bible it says 'fear not', do not fear' etc. You know what is good to do is to turn your fear into faith. Put faith in the thousands of promises for us to believe Him for. Many are on healing and in fact when we're 'saved' salvation includes redemption, healing, deliverance, and rescuing us. God knows our life span so leave it in His hands and be at peace. God tells us to think on good things for a good reason, He is for us. God bless you, IJNA🙏✝✡
