(TW: Disease + Death) I'm scared!

I'm super sorry if I accidentally trigger anyone! Right now I just need to get this off of my chest since it's one of my bigger fears! I'm blacking out the text in case if I do trigger somebody by accident; highlight the text in order to see it

But I'm scared of contracting a disease with very rare odds; we're talking about less than 1 in 10 billion
If somebody gets the disease though, the disease won't appear at first, they appear fine for 3-4 years; then the disease strikes and then they die within a year or so, the disease has no cure

I know my fear is irrational but I can't stop thinking about it; what do I do?

I'm sorry that you're feeling this way. I dealt with some major anxiety both last year and in the previous years. At one time I was certain I had contracted some terrible disease that was going to kill me. I actually had physical symptoms and could not convince myself that it was anxiety induced. It seemed so real. But it got better. How long have you been dealing with this?
