How is everyone managing their Health anxieties in regards to covid? I’m just wondering? I can’t be the only one spiralling every time I think I feel like I need to cough, or I fixate on a feeling in my throat and convince myself I’m getting a sore one. Or perhaps I feel a hot flush at work and immediately start feeling my back and chest to see if they’re hot?! It’s exhausting on top of general health anxiety oh.. and not to mention sniffing my perfume bottles and deodorant to see if I can still smell them
I’ve done so much reading and research about Health Anx, and currently working through a CBT work-book at home on my own to try and conquer it. It seems like a mountain though!
We alllllll know sensations become heightened the more we focus on them, and the mind runs off fast before we’ve even had time to calm the thoughts down!
Anyone got any Tips how to manage covid anx? Or anyone feeling the way I do? Sometimes it’s a comfort to know you’re not alone in feeling something isn’t it 殺
Anyway, best Christmas wishes. Katie xxx
