Im scared

[Uphillyeti]

How do I not be constantly afraid of my health. Every little thing that happens to me I fear is a symptom of a killer disease. I get sensations in my chest that Im not even sure are real. I keep fearing that I am going to die and it never happens. But I cannot get over this fear. I makes me depressed and anxious all of the time. How do others deal with this?

It sounds like you are having panic attacks. It is important to know our minds play games with us. Know that you cannot always trust your thoughts and emotions to be truthful. Common sense tells us we dont really have a life or death illness but our minds can convince us we do. Maybe write down some positive truths such as “ I am well, I am not sick, I am blessed, etc” and when you are getting ramped up

on the lies your mind is feeding you, read your true statements to yourself.
