Hi all,
I had my rock bottom moment yesterday and although I've been telling myself for years to stop Googling anything health related, now I've realised my mental and physical health depend on it.
I've had health anxiety since 2005 and Google compulsively. It's not unusual for me to be worrying about several diseases and medical issues at a time or on a loop throughout the day. I can't remember a day in the past 15 years where I wasn't worrying about something. In fact, when I stop worrying, I panic a bit and end up noticing something new.
In this thread I'll be sharing my thought patterns and behaviours as I break this bad habit and create a new one.
I hope it helps you if you're struggling with health anxiety.
