Illness Anxiety

Hey guys, I’ve really been struggling with illness anxiety and I’m struggling to get out of the continuous cycle of freaking out over every little thing that could be a symptom of something bad. It takes over my life. I have had a sore throat for almost 6 days and I can’t sleep because I keep worrying it’s going to turn into mono or that the pain will never go away. I don’t know how to end the fear.

It's not easy to just turn off the thoughts.
Flick a switch and it's done.
It's exhausting.
It's important to just continue to tell yourself, this is just a sore throat and it'll pass.
Listening to music helps me to drown out and dull the negative thoughts.
Sending you my best wishes 💜 💕
