Health anxiety
Does anyone have tips to share on managing health anxiety? Sometimes it really gets the best out of me and I waste so much time being stressed out for all kinds of illnesses...
Hi I suffer from health anxiety too and this pandemic has made it even worse. I’m sorry you’re suffering from this. In my experience I have to get my breathing under control first so I usually put on a comfort movie like studio ghibli then I drink some water and once the panic has subsided a bit I remind myself that my body is literally always doing everything in it’s power to keep us healthy and alive. And the human body is really amazing with all that it is capable of so I should try trusting that. A wet towel to rub on my face and neck also helps me focus. Hope this helps!
