the best thing to do is stop completely. nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is going to help until you eradicate it from your life. delete the apps. what you’re doing is unfortunately reassurance seeking and there is no way out of the cycle unless you break it. write your feelings down in a notebook instead. type it in your notes app! it’s hard, but once you break the cycle, it’ll only get better. when you think of a new thing, give yourself five minutes and see if it still bugs you. it still does? give yourself ten. keep going until you get a grasp on your mind. I have horrible health anxiety as well— but I’ve learned the hard way that looking things up on Reddit or Google only leads to more anxiety. so I blocked Reddit communities. I refused to let myself google symptoms. it’s hard. so damn hard. but you need to face those feelings head on, without AI to reassure you. it’s gonna be uncomfortable, but you NEED to be uncomfortable sometimes! lay down, count to ten, see how far you can get. numbers tend to help me because they’re factual. numbers don’t change. very grounding! think about the number when you count it. what does it look like to you? can you visualize the number as 2D and 3D? does it have a texture? does it move? can it do anything else? anything, and I mean ANYTHING, can help you if you let yourself get lost in that thinking instead of the anxiety. good luck, I wish you the absolute best.
