Health Anxiety - Is this you?

I’ve been struggling with throat issues and health anxiety the past few months. I googled about health anxiety and I hit basically all of these! Anyone else?

I can hit all them, and probably some more, lol

I talked to my doctor the other day and said “I feel symptoms and then I try to tell myself it’s just health anxiety but then tell myself what if it isn’t”

Vicious cycle!!

Yup I’m the sma and it’s so annoying. I will literally get over one symptom then feel something off and obsess over it :(

True. Or you get to the point where the symptoms you were worrying about our gone and then you think about them and they come back again!!!

100%, and that suggestion is also right on. The key to recovery is to counteract and disable each if those cogs!

Right. Even with all the reassurance by doctors when you still feel symptoms that can be hard to turn your brain around to tell yourself “it’s okay”
