sitting googling for hours...so scared

[worriedgirl21]

I cant get out of the habit of convincing myself that I have every disease disorder under the sun. I feel so scared and so lonely. Everytime i hear about a disease I google the symptoms so that I can see if I have them or not.... even then I convince myself. I feel like I am going out of control and I literally sit at the computer for hours doing it.

Any advice would be fantastic

Well you are suffering from Health Anxiety so you need to treat that to be honest.

CBT is the preferred therapy for HA but you will need to get your GP to refer you.

I also have a cheap book about HA in the online shop and a free downloadable leaflet you may want to look at.
