Hi all,
I am currently struggling with health anxiety and OCD and have all the time in the world in my hands. My mind has thoughts of every "worst case scenario" possible and this is a very difficult time for me.
My current anxiety is very severe and as I said I do not have much to occupy my time with. I get on forums to "help me cope" and have googled the topic EXTENSIVELY, which I think has only made me feel worse. I am having a hard time seeing friends and family. It's just an awful time right now filled with fear, anxiety, obsessive thoughts and panic attacks.
Suggestions on what to do? I can't just "snap out of it" although I wish SO MUCH I could. I am looking for a job. So far I just go online, talk to my best friend, fiance and mom, call hotlines to ask questions, go out for walks, go out to eat sometimes, watch a TV show here and there. Any other coping suggestions?
