Really spiralling

Me again😞. I am going from one thing to another. I try to apply what I learnt in CBT but I still spiral. Now I am panicking as for the past 2 days I have had really bad cramps and bloating which I never suffer from. Just a bit constipated which is normal for me. I am panicking these are symptoms of bowel cancer. I am a lost cause😞

The one thing which, I'm 100% sure you're not doing is to practice acceptance, and that is the key to controlling this successfully.

They are also symptoms of IBS.

Defeatist attitude like this won't get you anywhere Minion. Change the dialogue and your body will listen. Keep on indulging the negativity and you will get more of the same.

HA is a thinking habit. You have to break the habit.
