I have a lot of health anxiety, some of which is related to mild headaches , sinus , stomach. & ibs issues & i have 3 cats. They're all very sweet & I'm
Very attached to all of them. One of my cats is EXTREMELY STUBBORN & REPEATEDLY does mischievous things I don't want him doing. This causes a LOT of stress for me, which in turn triggers anxiety, which in turn causes physical symptoms , which then triggers more anxiety. I CANNOT get rid of cat . I'm too attached to him . I don't know how to handle this & it's been going on a long time. I think I'm posting in right forum since this situation does trigger physical symptoms causing health anxiety. Does anyone have any ideas how I can manage this as stressors do trigger anxiety. & it escalates? Please don't suggest giving up cat as that isn't an option for me. That would just cause sorrow for me. Please respond as I could really use some feedback. Thank You
