Health anxiety
Show your support
Having someone to talk to that unbiased and nonjudgmental is really a big deal!
Please dont use pills, maybe give a meditation, specially chakra meditation a try and you feel instant relief and change in 15 minutes. Look up color therapy, people pay to get this done at clinic,but we all actually can do it at home for free, it helps me so much ❤️
Focus on the present moment. The more you practice the easier it gets. Mindfulness 💛
I suffer from health anxiety too, so I really feel for you! I go through good and bad phases with it, but one thing that has helped is counselling. My counsellor is person centred, which works for me currently, although I've tried other types in the past.
If you’re looking for another medication propanalol is supposed to be good. I’ve been prescribed that but haven’t took it yet as I’m worried 😆 I suffer with health anxiety and emetaphobia and I’m really struggling too, I’m looking into hypnotherapy x
@Susan thankyou :) yes my family keep mentioning a counsellor or therapist, I’ll have a look into the tapping and emdr x
@Leyla I’ve tried meditation before but didn’t find it helped. I may give it another go, Thankyou! I’ll research that x
@Amy thank you, do counsellors go over your past or just focusing on what you’re dealing with now? I’m not sure if they’re the same as a therapist? It’s something I keep putting off
@Harley this is the thing with medication, I will focus on the side effects and convince myself something bad will happen. I think for me they’re a last resort. Hope you find something that works x
I’m the exact same with side effects too I’ve had them sitting in my drawer for a few months now, it was a last resort for me as well but unfortunately I’ve been feeling really low and suicidal so I need the help. I really hope you find something that works for you! I can be so debilitating xx
Anxiety is hard and when it flares up, it’s hard to cope – maybe you need to start seeing a counselor and they can do some cognitive behavioral therapy as an alternative to medication. There’s tapping techniques and EMDR. These are techniques that you can do in public and no one knows why you’re doing them that you’re doing themfor overtime they’ll help lesson your feelings of anxiousness maybe keeping a gratitude, journal and writing in it every day, getting outside doing the things you like to do eating the food you like to eat.
