      Give yourself grace. You are NOT alone. I had the worst debilitating thoughts spinning around in my head. Their were many nights I couldn’t sleep, I was even afraid to be home by myself. Release the attachment of the negative thoughts from you. You’re scary thoughts are not yours, they belong to “negative Nancy”. Give your negative thoughts your name to detach yourself from them. I always remind yourself that they are not your thoughts do you think happy thoughts etc. I have also read alot of positive self help books and affirmations and jack Johnsons apps for sleep and relaxation. Remember that you are not going crazy. You are not alone. 💕 🙏

      yano I have done alot of reach on somatic symptoms for awhile now and I thought the same thing honestly...and I have..well awhile ago and they just kinda blew me off but I have a new therapist since then so I'm definitely going to bring it up to her !

      It sounds like it could be somatic symptom anxiety, and it could help to talk to a therapist about it.

      Yes, especially concerning my heartbeat! The only thing I have to try and help is to just not google symptoms and I usually ask a friend to tell me I'm not dying and then I'll believe it.

        @sillyashell I usually go back and fourth with problems with my heart , my brain, and cancer. Cancer runs on both sides of my family pretty badly. So it's a big fear of mine. When my mental illness first started I was ALWAYSSSSSS on Google googling everytging possible about what and how I was feeling. Very bad idea I've learned. I still do it once and awhile but I try to stop myself as much as possible.

      You are not alone love I have a lot of illnesses and my anxiety and depression are from living with chronic illnesses and chronic pain daily. I had a breakdown yesterday I cried so much and so hard I told my mom it's exhausting being in pain all day every day. I wish I could have a few days where it wasn't that bad. But unfortunately chronic illness and chronic pain have been my life for the last 9 years. So I definitely get it love you are not alone. Feel free to inbox me anytime you need someone to talk to.☮💙🖤💜🕯

          @happy_girl I feel you and that why I restrict myself from Google I had it real bad yesterday I went down a rabbit whole all I did was look up why my tongue is hurting turns out it was the corn chips that did it but I looked it up end up thinking I had mouth cancer ended up looking at my mouth for ages inspecting it and putting a flashlight to see if I had any of the other symptoms so today I turned off my browser my Google chrome app I disabled it and only turn it on if I really have to but I just forget that I turn it off because I don't see the app on my screen it hides it when you disable it but doesn't take it off completely so you can just go back into settings and app settings and just enable it again when you need to

          @beautifulDisasterxo yes and then comes the Google search of your symptoms which leads to thinking you have an incurable disease then comes the chest pain the butterfly feeling in the put of your stomach then here we go the racing thoughts which ends in crying and chest pain and you just want to get better sometimes it's a struggle to even wake up because you know that feeling will be there when you do

      yea I get that. I have anxiety underlying all the time but also get severe panic attacks to where my heart races and I can not breathe. I even get to where I have to leave a room and calm down. But I get the stress anxiety because with my husband's health I have a lot of stress.

        @Deanka I get it I have an anxiety disorder on top of the health anxiety and stress anxiety. It can be crippling. The only way I have gotten through my panic attacks is to like play a game or do something that takes my brain out of anxiety mode. It does not work all the time but I always try that first if it does not work than I go to my larsapam and it works for me. Hope that helps.

          @Tress I don't get panic attacks so much anymore I use to ALOT I would have panic attacks 3-5 times a day and sometimes they would last hours. But it seems as if nothing can distract my mind like nothing helps !

          @Tress I don’t really get attacks. My anxiety is either at a 3 or a 10 all the time. And stress anxiety is the hardest to control it seems. I know I have that bc things stop working for me.

      You’re definitely not alone! I have anxiety and contamination OCD and they feed each other all the time 😭😭 it’s gotten so bad to where I was washing my hands so much they blistered, but the fear of getting sick because of something was so intense. I’m doing better now, but I get it.

      You aren't any more crazy than anyone else. Mental issues manifest differently for everyone. But, physically, our bodies are much stronger than we think. As many times as I've gone to the ER thinking I was going to die, nothing serious has ever been found.

      YES. Some days are worse than others. I'm hyper aware of every sensation in my body. I'm always looking up symptoms for any possible explanation for even the slightest symptom. I know it's not rational, but I still do it because, what if something was wrong and I missed it. I would love to turn my brain off.
