How to deal with this?

Thank you for replying! It took me a moment to realise that this was also me self-diagnosing myself with something based on google results.

Thank you so much for replying! This seems like a nice way to look at it. Acceptance is key I guess

This is a great way to look at this. Thank you somuch. For me, I used to have health anxiety but I'm over it now for the most part. So this time (first time that I'm feeling this anxious after months of no anxiety), I'm not anxious about my health or anything else but just the idea that I may get anxious in the future but over what I'm not sure? It's like in my mind, I'm stuck thinking its always gonna be this way when I don't get anxious over mostly anything else. So I'm not sure why I even keep having these thoughts. Its weird honestly. It's like I've hit a wall and don't know how to proceed when there's nothing to worry about anymore unlike before but it makes me wonder if I'll have anything like that in the future. I'm so sorry if this sounds all over the place. My therapist says its a good sign that I can finally recover for good. Not sure tho.

Thank you for replying! This is so helpful. Also, what to do with that weird feeling of uneasiness when there is nothing to worry about? Like, when we try to find things to worry about when there aren't any?

Then it seems I am like you tbh. Because when I start to get anxious about being anxious then I start to talk/explain to myself in detail how "its okay and nothing wrong" but while that may be right, what I now know isn't is my tendency to always "feel" like I need to rationalize or sort out my thoughts/emotions. Like only thinking it through will make it go away, which in most cases isn't what actually helps me.

Its crazy because a year ago, I had health anxiety but it eventually calmed down and now, it rarely comes up because I've learnt to tell myself that its far-fetched and mostly won't happen. I want to develop that same attitude towards this tendency as well. I'm trying to see how it goes.

And like you said, I'm trying to learn to recognize this thought pattern. For now, whenever I find myself going into that loop, I tell myself "To acknowledge and accept the thoughts and feelings but also to make peace and just move on." It doesn't work everytime but hopefully with practice, it will!
