Hi Tine,
Were you able to look at those other threads that Chris B posted? Were they useful to you at all?
Health anxiety can be really difficult to have and I'm sorry that you have to go through all these tests. There can be lots of different ways to cope in the waiting for the tests such as:
- distraction; this might be going for a walk or going to the gym, listening to some music, watching TV, doing some cooking or anything that helps you forget about what's going on
- self-care (which might overlap with the others); meditation, yoga, colouring/journalling/drawing, have a long bath, etc. Anything that allows you to be kind to yourself. Anxiety is really hard to deal with. Sometimes it can help to use affirmations or fact-check yourself such as "I've got a strong support team around me. I'm strong enough to get through this."
- ask for help; talking to friends/family, your GP or a psychologist (especially if you have a history of health anxiety)
Hope this helps a little! Take care,
