I tend to put a lot of things off, I suppose a big thing is telling myself, oh I’ll do that later then later comes around and…repeat.

I somehow think it’ll be easier to do later and put it off for ages.

Just things I want to get done, such as calling the doctors up about something or finishing my spanish homework, sometimes I’ve put of wanting to read or watch something too.

It’s like na, I’ll do that later, it’s easy to do! Then…later turns even weeks, months and sometimes even years!

I have a medical condition to do with my head that I put of for ages and everyone was also telling me “It’s just stress”

Turns out it wasn’t and I eventually realised hey I seriously need to go to the doctors about this when after going down a water slide on a holiday, I had the most painful headache ever and my vision blacked out for a couple of seconds.

It turned out to be something I just need to be cautious of, no pressure on or moving my head quickly but as long as that doesn’t happen too much and I pay attention to my symptoms, I should be fine.

I suppose because of that I began to worry about other things which caursed me to put of calling the doctors due to worry that it’s just my own anxiety playing up, as I worried and still worry about my own health too much.

Recently I finally signed up to therapest sessions to help me on my health anxiety. The sessions have helped a little but we haven’t got into too much yet so it hasn’t really started properly but I hope it helps me understand what is my own anxiety over my own health and what isn’t.

I worry often that I have something horribly wrong with me but I feel like if I get a doctors appointment then I’m letting my health anxiety win. Yet it’s difficult to know when my anxiety is grounded in reality and I should actually call up the doctors? And when it’s not.
