So I had a bit of a rock bottom moment tonight. I was spiralling about something health related that I've been obsessing about for weeks and felt close to a breakdown. I felt so overwhelmed by my health anxiety and so sick of having it.
Every single health anxiety recovery story I've read has one thing in common - don't Google. Ever.
I know this, but it's so hard. I relapse every few days and get back in the cycle.
My therapist suggested I try to get some accountability for not Googling. I don't feel comfortable doing that with people in my life, so wondered if it would be okay to do it here?
I would love it if people would join this thread so we can support each other not to Google symptoms or health related things that feed our anxiety.
So if you want to join the no Googling support thread, just comment below.
I'll start:
