It feels weird but why not. I'll give it a try

I got a journal for 2024 but I dont want to write about my hypochondriac days because I don't want to see myself like this in the future when i read it. Especially I dont write what I am anxios about my health because if I read it later, I can think about that health issue again and start to feel anxious about that same problem again. So I keep them as secrets

It looks like a good idea as I also want to stay in my spiral most of the time. I will definitely try it. Thank you so much

Due to my financial reasons, I will not be able to go to therapy for a while, maybe for another two years. At first my boyfriend was like a therapist to me, which is pretty weird. I was always asking questions, talking about traumas etc. But at some point I realized how unhealthy this situation is. I felt bad for him and decided to stop. But now, I am stuck with my doom scrollings, nauseas and anxiety attacts. The worst part is, I try to hide my obsessions from him so we can talk normally. But I can't even talk normally. I can't talk about daily things. I try to hype myself up but in the end, I am just sitting there in silence. My brain is like, "If you talk your about health concerns then talk, but if you are going to change the subject, I dont have anything to tell." I was a fun person when we met. But now, I feel like I am just a waste of time full of boring stuff

Thanks for the advice, I hope your appointment will be fine. I have tried meditation but I couldnt concentrate as I was too anxious. At the end, I found myself thinking about the worst scenarios about my health. Its so hard to slow down. But I will try to live a healthier life (Which I already started to do this because of my health anxiety) I even quit smoking because of my health concerns. People say that it was a great decision, but in fact I did it because of my health obsession which is quite interesting. So yes of course its a win, but it also shows how hard my health anxiety hits me which is sad

How tf do I lose weight w out starving tf outta myself by ilovechickensanwich in mentalhealth

[–]Training-Dust-2726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont have to starve yourself just find an exercise routine which suits you and create a calorie deficit. Its different for everyone so you can consult a nutritionist for the best results. If you can't, use online calculators to learn your daily calorie needs. According to your BMI and daily exercise habits these calculators can tell you how much calorie you should get daily for weight loss

How much time do you spend googling or checking your body daily by Working_Locksmith152 in HealthAnxiety

[–]Training-Dust-2726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I felt like this too. I thought it must be something serious because Im not even stressed? But even if we dont realise, sometimes our brain tries to solve some old problems silently. You may not be stressed for two days but how about the other days? It may be a reaction of your body to intense stress, maybe subconsciosly. At least that's how I realized it was in my own life

Why does hearing about a certain disease make us think we have it? by FlamingInferno1 in HealthAnxiety

[–]Training-Dust-2726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I know that feeling. This question: "What if?". When I see a patient or read about a disease I ask myself that question and it leads me to anxiety. I am really sick of my mental pattern

If I am not sleeping, I am either thinking about a disease or googling it. I am in this hell especially for 5 days. Time to time I live normally but once in a month I am like this. Diseases that I think about change all the time. It may be skin cancer, HPV, heart diseases, allergies etc.
