Answers:
Yes, anxiety can cause a person to feel they are experiencing a multitude of health related problems. I'm not going to get into what antidepressant medications could possibly do for you, since you've already decided not to take them. Since you've decided not to take anit-depressant medication, you leave yourself no other option but to resolve this issue on you own, you're just going to have to except the fact that you are doing this to yourself. YOU"ve chosen to let your mind spend the greater part of its time focused on what YOU feel is wrong with your life. YOU look at everything that happens as personal, when much of what you've experienced happens to just about everyone around you. If you've lost your job, you're going to have financial troubles. It's the natural order of things and happens to every person and family when one of the earners becomes unemployed, or if they have bad spending habits. The loss of loved ones is also something many people experience. When it is due to age, or health issues related to age, it is considered normal, and part of life. When a death is untimely, it is much more difficult, but something many people experience and have to find resolve with.

You MUST tell yourself that you won't focus on everything you feel is negative in your life. You must avoid the urge (break the habit) to feel sorry for yourself or see yourself as someone whose life is filled with tragedy. YOU are the only one who can break the cycle of not letting go of emotions. YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT'S RIGHT IN YOUR LIFE AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. You need to stop focusing so much on yourself. You need to look at other people and realize that many of them have been through much of what you're going through and more, and realize the only difference between them and you is that they mourn, feel bad, suffer, get depressed, worry, and then they move on. They are not less caring or tougher than you. They are simply people who have fought the habit of focusing on every negative aspect of their lives and realized that not moving foward not only hurts themselves, it hurt the people around them they care for, love, and have every reason to be happy for.

Change your mind. Change your life. Love everything you do have. Focus on WHAT YOU CAN DO to make things better.

You should ask your doctor these questions. If you ever feel you just can't take it anymore, call 9-1-1 and they will help you. They helped me without judging me.
