For me, the best way is just distraction. I've been reading books, going out and doing activities, drawing, etc. to distract myself from these thoughts. Personally, if I have a moment of silence I *will* end up thinking about it, so I just try to keep myself busy.
@Anonymous I will try that
Im going through a virus right now that is really strong and i find myself worry about my health all day. And you would say thats normal but i say the same thing and thats why i dont stop worrying or stop adding to the worry cause i think its normal to worry and doing anything about it would just make it worse, so im just continue to worry which makes my symptoms worse. I try to shift my focus but the fear is so loud and i feel like im just ignoring my health, its really hard with health anxiety cause you cant just say "well it is what it is" or the basic "maybe maybe not" cause its about your health and if you dont take it seriously then you will regret it... So i dont know how to stop worrying
Starting to think I have unresolved childhood trauma unfortunately. Health OCD is also driving my absolutely crazy but I'm too scared to go to my doctor. I worry about diabetes, illnesses, cancer, skin problems, etc. I just hope everything works out in the end. Right now I just can't do the things I love doing because I'm constantly worrying about everything. All of my worries are exacerbated and I just can't keep them away. They only come back.
does anyone else get really sick like every 2-3 weeks. i dont know if its my anxiety but i always get really bad nausea flu type symptoms every few weeks and like headaches with sinus and ear issues but the doctor said everythings fine and ive been to ER like 3 times and they said everything’s perfect :(
