hypochondriasis

i grew up fine, never worrying about most things. until these past two years ive become the biggest hypochondriac ever. now, i'm not allergic to anything (doctor confirmed) but i scare myself into thinking im allergic to things ive had before? i even had a huge somatic panic attack when i was getting this treatment for covid. i ate ramen nearly everyday growing up (im poor lol). today, i had this organic ramen with LESS ingredients than the basic maruchan ones. i almost had a huge meltdown at work because of how afraid i became. like what? is there anything i can do to combat my hypochondria ? its becoming unbearable.

This is what I am going through currently. I have a ton of symptoms and they are very overwhelming. I have no figured out much about how to cope. I will say the time I had it previously, it went away when I accepted that it was out of my control. I think that is easier to do if you are working on bringing general anxiety down.

Worried about not being anxious?

These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

panic/anxiety attack

i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.
