For the past few months I have been suffering from health anxiety and cannot stop Googling symptoms etc. I have managed to convince myself I have had/got any illness or cancer there is. This is taking over my life. Can anyone help please x
Hi Claire, First of all, you have got to STOP Googling health conditions. It will drive you crazy. Next, please go visit your doctor. He can recommend a plan of action for your health anxiety. You may need therapy and / or medication. Don't wait to get help as the longer you wait the more difficult it is to treat your condition. There are lots of us here who suffer with anxiety of some kind. Talking here is a good place to start. Best of luck.
We both have the same situation. My psychiatrist told me that anxiety may hit anybody. No gender, age or race. What we need to accept that we have this illness and look for solutions how to sirpass each attack.
*We need to accept
*surpass
Consult a Psych dear. You need to seek help from professionals.
I am guilty of the same. The things about googling symptoms is that it will give you the worst case scenarios of everything you’re feeling, all the chronic scares.
I have gone through the same thing. It is easy to Google symptoms but that usually only leads to further anxiety. Like others have said, go to the doctor and try to work this out with your doctor.
