Hey everyone..
As the title says, i have always been obsessed with my illness, it seems like there isn't one day that goes by when i'm not thinking obsessively about it, i can't seem to make it go away, as a consequence of focusing so much on my breathes etc, i sometimes feel i can barely breathe and worry too much whether i'm getting worse by the minute! I'm always waiting for something to happen, always wondering when i'm gonna get worse and just not being able to live a day at a time.

Hi Vera,
I think you have class seratonin defficiency symptoms. Stress from an illness can prevent your body from correctly utilizing the seratonin it produces and the result is worried thoughts like you've mentioned.
The unfortunate thing is that I know Europe sigmatizes depression more than the the US does. And as a result, you might be more hesitant to seek help from a Psych.
But what's occuring is a chemical process - something you have no control over because you have a chronic illness that puts a great deal of stress on your body.
A Selective Seratonin Rebutake Inhibator (SSRI) would help your body become more receptive to the seratonin that it naturally produces.
I hope you find answers. It's no fun to suffer needlessly.
