Dealing with Health Anxiety: Seeking Support

hi everyone...New here and just looking for people with similar experiences. I guess I'm typical in many ways in that I'm too attuned to every sensation in my body and what it could mean, health-wise and frequently googling symptoms when I have them. I try to be reasonable, though. I don't make the symptoms up. They are real. I'm feeling whatever I'm feeling. I just want to know whatever it is isn't something serious. Still, a part of me knows that I was much more relaxed and happy when I didn't know about all the things that could go wrong with my body. Thoughts, anyone?
