Question

Idk how to stop this it has caused me so much anxiety and depression for years!

Answer

ME ME ME... I can hear or read one thing about a symptom of an illness & I get so into my head I make myself have the symptoms... then I start googling which makes my anxiety sky rocket & I freak out for a week or so. If I feel a little discomfort or pain that I never had before... I’m googling, then I start giving myself other symptoms, get myself sick worrying about, become obsessed w/ it thinking “do I have this? Do I feel that yet?” Which of course, brings in the symptom. 
I emotionally & mentally DRAIN myself when this happens.

Answer

Put down your devices and learn to reaffirm yourself. It’s important to realize you’re overthinking and if you’re doing the necessary things to be healthy there shouldn’t be much to worry about. Being stressed like that can actually be harmful. You’re okay and safe. You can always check in with a doctor or therapist
