Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
What you should be happy about is that you are able to do day to day activities even with all these problems. That is it. Means people with these troubles can also lead a pretty good life. Only problem is you are aware that the problems are there and they don't do much to you, and you are not aware that "they can do nothing to you". Hope you understood.
Be aware that these problems are just fears or apprehensions. Understand it and you can overcome them. Practice meditation and yoga.I can help you online if you desire so.
Good luck

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone through your available history.
You may take her to your psychiatrist who can share knowledge regarding your illness so that she can understand. Otherwise, you can use internet sites regarding these illness to make her understand.
You should take regular anti depressant agents as suggested by your psychiatrist. You may get benefit by adding psychotherapy with drugs.
Meanwhile you may do stress management, relaxation therapy like breathing exercise, yoga or meditation for better control over stress.
Thanks.
