I want to trust myself.

Having health anxiety kicks me in the arse. I've had a good steak lately. I'm proud. Most self soothed. But the weird headaches I've lately put me on edge. You know? Brain tumors. Cancer. It's hard to think what else it could be.. you know? I want to trust myself and I know that's part of my problem Is overthinking.

Any tips on how to just put trust into myself? How to build myself up again?

I try not to focus on what's wrong but more on what is right with my health without panicking and asking for reassurance or overthinking that something is or could be wrong. I am generally pretty healthy so I learn to trust results and tests to be accurate.

My thing is me not trusting myself to actually have comfort and confidence knowing I'm going to be okay

Hm, I think the issue of trusting yourself to not feel anxious seems to feel like you're "grading" yourself, which is another way of resisting the anxiety. Maybe shift to trusting yourself to get through it: even if your current "on edge" feeling eventually sends you into an anxiety attack, you'll make it through that, using the tools you've built up so far, and because you can.

I can certainly relate to that. When it all boils down to it, we aren't trusting ourselves or the higher power, our God like we may have once before. I know that how it is for me. And I read a text of someone saying we need to trust our bodies to heal itself and do what it naturally supposed to do. And I once remember not holding on dwelling on things or occurrences that took place in my life and sure enough I would get through or past whatever it was.

And now with this health anxiety I have completely forgot how to be that way. And I want to trust myself again too. For me, I need to put my trust and more trust in God our Father. He took care of everything before.

I wish us the best.
