I Am Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

I hate anxiety, but I also hate it when doctors use it as an excuse to ignore my real medical concerns. I've been ill for a good while now, about 5 months. I've had 2 full blood count tests in the past 5 months and they came back normal, my blood pressure, chest is always okay when they examine, I keep going back because I'm still not well... But I can't shake off this uneasy feeling that I'm secretly dying. It might sound crazy, they've tried to reassure me that I'm fine but I just can't trust their word for it. I don't know what to do anymore. Anybody going through this? :( I'm terrified.

I'm pretty sure it's psychosomatic. The exact same thing happened to me. I know it may offend you that people tell you it's psychosomatic but it's true. It took me a long while to realize. I also got checked very often. All kinds of tests, blood, x-rays, everything and they all came back normal. However my heart rate was usually very high, I fainted sometimes, felt horrible, but it's just psychological. The sooner you realize it and find what is causing it, the sooner you'll get better.
