I suffer with serious anxiety and need some advice

I was diagnosed with an eating disorder not too long ago , I lost 6 stone in 7 months due too the fact I was starving myself and the it gyhered into more as I progressed without my fear ... I've been eating soft foods and liquid replacements for a while because I gathered a fear of "choking" , I've had blood test and they've came back clear , nothing at all , I'm only 17 so having cancer so soon is rare but due too my sever anxiety it's all that runs thru my mind . I'm currently having pains in my collarbone and neck sometimes when I chew and when I touch my neck it's so sensitive & all I want too do is put my mind at rest as I lost my dad 3 years ago due too a heart attack and he died in my arms and since then I've been so scared of death . Im in urgent need of advice as im so sick of panicking and it's beginning too ruin my relationships and fun as im scared of almsot everything . The pain is in my neck near my "swallow box" as id call it , & it's tender too touch, I also have pain in my shoulder and collarbone but it isn't too bad it's every once in a while especially when I think about it more , I just need some helpful advice because I'm getting close too feeling as if I genuinely need too give up soon , I've been too my Gp multiple times and she's told me not too worry it's all to do with my anxiety but I'm so scared and I don't want too leave my family as I love them so much , please can I have some advice as soon as possible because I can no longer feel this scared :( , Thankyou so much 

  • Hi there

    I can't comment on any medical stuff but as somebody who also has severe anxiety and an eating disorder I can tell you that anxiety can mimic almost any disease.  I too have been convinced I have every disease under the sun but in reality it has all been related to my mental health as far as I can tell.

    If your doctor said your blood tests are fine I really don't think you have anything to worry about.  I know that's easier said than done but just try to remember that anxiety can even cause pain and the choking sensations that you mention.  Anxiety can even cause eating problems so you may find if you can get a handle on your anxiety that your eating problems may get easier.

    I wish you the best of luck, anxiety is an awful condition but it can be improved over time.
