I suffered with health ocd for years after my dad passed away. I have been in your situation as well. My headaches were debilitating and lasted for 3 months non stop. I was convinced I was dying of a brain tumor. The best thing to do is journal how you feel. I dont know why but it helps shift the energy in your body when you write down your emotions and how you are feeling. I still have a hard time doing to doctors but I find my health ocd has changed themes to rocd

Deep breaths ( I know we hate to hear that ) You do not have a brain tumour, you do have anxiety and worry and that's okay. Focus on mending the issue that you do have, rather than creating an issue that you don't have :)

Chasing lace- my health anxiety started after my dad’s death too! It’s been about 8 months and I am struggling hard core. Hours googling, hundreds of dollars on doctors. What did you do to help or get the theme to shift?

I am still struggling, but I am getting better! I have spent multiple times in the drs and googling it’s been rough. Begging for scans but I just tell myself to stop worrying. After a while it becomes a a routine of checking yourself, googling etc you have to get out of that routine when you get the urge to google or exam yourself go do something clean, take a walk etc. I also bought a book called the worry trick it explains why we worry and examples or different scenarios the book is awesome you should buy it

I found that having a psychiatrist really helped. He was very good in the sense he told me I am not allowed to see a gp for health concerns anymore. I would need to go through him first and he would let me know if I needed to see a dr or not. I still suffer tho many years later, just not as bad. My OCD theme has switched :(

I suffer with relationship OCD and I am not even in a relationship or have been for 5 years this is my main concern now and it fricken sucks overanalyzing and overthinking. I do have a OCD recovery coach I found off of YouTube and she has been really helpful in explaining to me how OCD works. Her name is Ali Greymond

tell me why… idk if this is just me but i’m so scared i have ovarian cancer, kidney stone, kidney failure, UTI, hernia, or something wrong that’s making my lower stomach to my inner thigh and pelvic area. i have an uncomfortable feeling. it was hurting more last night then it is today… everytime i pee it doesn’t hurt but i somewhat still get the uncomfortable feeling down there and feeling in stomach. i’ve been googling and idk what to do because i’m scared of the doctors and i haven’t had a physical like in 2 years and i’m like scared if i go to a physicial i will have something wrong with me like i have cancer or something that i don’t know about. something tells me the pain tho in general is something gastrointestinal related but idk if could mean i have pain down “there”…. i took a tylenol last night it helped a little but then it still kinda occurred and i took a tum and it’s still the same i think it’s still occurring since i’m so hyper focused about it. idk i’m just like ugh my OCD was doing so well i just can’t tell what it is or if something is wrong i’m just scared :( i hate when having certain pains i freak out.

I haven't posted in a while. But I have been so worried so I thought I would write here. I am so worried about Schizophrenia and I feel so guilty about it. I have so so much respect for people who deal with the condition and worrying about getting it myself makes me feel like an awful person. It just takes so much out of me. I would love to know some helpful tips to get me through this if anyone else has been dealing with this worry.

I had a migraine a little over a week ago after a few months of tremendous stress and anxiety. For a few days I was okay apart from a mild headache but then i got it into my head that I have a brain tumour. Yesterday I had the worst panic attack ever caused by all this overthinking. I started getting really dizzy, numb face and arm and I was convinced I had been correct and did have a brain tumour. The panic attack subsided after I calmed myself down a little bit but I am so anxious that I have a brain tumour. The numb feeling disappeared after the panic attack. But i have a dull headache, had a twitchy eye sometimes, and neck twitches. Sometimes when I really think about it I feel like I can’t focus or keep my vision straight. I can’t stop panicking about it I’m really really scared that there’s something wrong with me. I’m gonna go to the doctors to ask about it but i just needed to vent. I feel like recently I’m spending all the time thinking I have a brain tumour and it is honestly terrifying me so much.
