Hi I need some sound information and support.
I am suffering from a single phobic thought..
I know it's irrational, and it's linked to a type of depression.

The thing is this, two weeks ago, I suddenly got a thought, that my anxiety, would somehow cause me to get cancer, because of the cortisol that was released into my system.
Then I realised that I worked so hard physically that I used up most of my excess adrenalin in any case, so after making peace with that thought, it gradually faded away, now I am trying t get to grips with a phobic thought which I had during that time, because I told myself that my body was riddled with cancer, I immediately countered the thought with positive affirmations and thoughts, I just want to know for sure that my one negative thought is not going to initiate some form of rapidly spreading cancer in my body..
I follow a really healthy diet, with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, no junk food.., and I work really hard physically too..
It's irrational to think this way, but I need support..
Please help..

Ingo

It is irrational, to believe, that we can control, cancer from coming into our bodies.

I will say, I've had anxiety for years. I am cancer free.
