Hi all
I've been battling health anxiety for years.
I've spent a small fortune on seeing private specialists who keep telling me there's nothing to worry about. The trouble is I keep thinking it's possible and worrying about getting various deadly conditions from exposure to things in my house from new furniture to paint to sand to asbestos.
I tried a few sessions of CBT but the therapist seemed cold and clinical.
I've tried talking therapy and I just turn up and moan for an hour then leave and feel like I'm making the problem worse not better by focusing on it with questions and no answers.
Does anyone think CBT would help me or are there any other therapies you've found useful.
I don't fancy trying antidepressants at the moment.
Thanks for reading all that!
