hi, someone here suffers from hypocondria/ health anxiety??? I literally very tired of this, i want to be happy, I know i am, but i want to enjoy more, and stop worrying about everything that triggers this. Could someone who suffers from this tell me how you handle it? Or your experience with it? It doesn't matter if you go well o badly with that,i just want at least one comment that makes me feel less alone, because i can no longer handle this, it is very tiring. thank u ♡

hey!!! it’s okay, i have a lot of things that trigger me and overwhelm me. i don’t know how to help because i don’t know how to help myself either but i just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone and hopefully one day all of us will have healthier and happier mental health

omg thank u very very much, thank you for being there 💜. God bless us and hopefully we get out of this 💜🤍🥺 thank u so much

Stopping the google, the asking people around you, or in my case reddit, for reassurance, looking up illnesses and checking your body for abnormalities is how you stop feeding the health anxiety. I had a therapist that wasn't really helping my health anxiety, but once I switched and was diagnosed with OCD and about to start proper ERP is when I am noticing myself just let symptoms be there. I actually get body parts that act up the more I worry about them and sometimes mimick things I fear. You aren't alone. Health anxiety is horrible because you don't know what's normal and what's not.
