It’s been many many years since I have been obsessively googling and body checking.
I have a health issue, it’s being managed but I have got my self in the head space of a terminal diagnosis.
I can’t sleep, eat, think of anything else, nights sweats, palpitations etc. I know this is anxiety (actually have a health problem that could be serious, probably isn’t) checking my body 100 times a day. Never get an Apple Watch/stethoscope/ pulse oximeter!
We are moving to another country in a few weeks and I have so much to do, seriously need to snap myself out of this.
So,
No more googling until after the weekend (little steps)
No more body checking until after the weekend
No more badgering my go until next week
Any other tips please? Not looking for reassurance on the health condition (no amount will help), just coping strategies with the anxiety please.
I am in a bad place right now and can’t drag myself out. Symptoms are a constant reminder of my “terminal” health issue or resolving problem.
Gave up smoking, cigarettes and herbs 8 weeks ago, got sick and it’s been horrendous from there!
