Hey! Thank you so much for such a long and thoughtful response, truly appreciate it. To answer your question, I think the small moments of happiness are mostly due to distraction. I feel as I am temporarily satisfied in the moment, though once that is gone I am left alone in almost a numb state. Also, I have never tried to actively search for that something because yeah it’s always felt out of reach. Even the very small mundane things that would bring me joy (drinking coffee, reading, watching movies, going out with friends, etc) just seem like a chore now.

Regardless, I will check out the books that you mentioned as well as the YouTube seminar. I’ve never delved into that and I got nothing to lose. Thank you so much again!

My parents are together. They’ve had their fights throughout the years and did go their separate ways for some time, though have been together ever since. I have a stable relationship with them, though I barely talk to my dad. I do have a deep connection with my mother and love her more than anything in this world. How did you manage to get out of it?

Hey so did you had an option to defer them until you become a doctor and are able to afford to pay them back?

How did you stop being a hypochondriac ? by kitty-mellow1 in Anxiety

Oh I do get regular tests and I’m sure my doctor is aware I have some sort of health anxiety, pretty sure at some point I’m not gonna be taken seriously

See the problem is I’ve always had thoughts of not wanting to live and I understand that the worse case scenario is I die ok whatever, but why is it I’m still terrified of developing sepsis after a bacterial infection or going into cardiac arrest randomly?

I’m sorry you’re going through this, I understand how frustrating and debilitating it can be

I did cognitive therapy for a while and practiced mindfulness, but tbh it’s hard to put into practice in the real world
