Struggling really bad today, worried about my headaches and concerns it’s a brain tumor. My grandmother who is 83 recently found out she has a brain tumor and is getting it removed, now ever since I have been getting a headache behind my eye and feels like dull pressure I been worried it’s a tumor my dr said it’s just a tension headache or migraine or muscleskeletor headache she doesn’t seem to worry after speaking to her over the phone but I’m still so worried!!!

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

Is she worth the money?

Well I'm not recovered yet, but she has been helpful
