Dealing with Health Anxiety: Constantly Worried About Diseases

I have dealt with this all my life. I put reminders everywhere, that I am healthy. I use humor to cope in a lot of ways. Like if I could post it I have my headstone picked out and it says. “See, I told you I was sick” I also listen to a lot of health anxiety videos on YouTube and such. It’s a daily, hourly, struggle. Best of luck and their is hope.

yes it really does😥..its a feeling that you cant brush off,a dreadful cycle

Aye twinsies I’m wheezing too rn and too scared to go to sleep. Something that’s kind of helped me is that I tell myself that I’ve had tests done, and anything major would present itself in a major way. So even if I have some chest pain or some new weird spot, all I can do is remind myself that. It doesn’t always work and it’s such a terrible cycle. I wish you luck.
