Why do I always try to find something wrong with me???

Hey all,

I thought I had my anxiety under control, but lately I've been obsessing over things with my body and always thinking the worse on what it may be :/ i also find that Google freaks me out even more. I just wish I could stop

you need to try and recognise the thoughts when they arise as anxiety or obsessive. you can gradually talk yourself down. take deep breaths while doing this.

anxiety can turn any little symptom into a panic attack and worry. I've done it myself, seems like my mind just wants an excuse to pump some adrenaline round and make me feel terrible!

if you check online go to official sites like webmd etc

they can be a great resource but don't go on them too much, of course too much info for us anxiety folk can be bad

take care

Ughhh. Exactly ..I hate it like it's annoying. I obsess over everything with me . It'll be fine , definitely. Gotta learn ways on how to relax & not worry . :))

I have found that I am comfortable with worrying. I worry so much, that on the rare occasion that I am not worrying, I feel a hole there and I try to fill it--by finding something to worry about! It is pretty crazy because obviously I do not want to worry. But maybe the fear of the unknown--of living without worry--is overtaking my desire not to worry.

I have been trying to think, "Is this thought useful? Will worrying about this do me any good?" The answer is always a resounding NO. That helps me combat the worry. I have to say it to myself a lot, though!

I'm the same I walked in to the doctors and told them this morning that I has throat cancer and that I needed help but it just my anxiety.... Google is my worst night mare as I google everything if you feel like you need to goggle summit come on here and have a chat 😊

I can't take my own advice, but Google is the enemy when you have anx and a symptom.

Hi out thére, I had a brother who had failing kidneys at 11 years of age. This is going back 40 yrs.of more..before kidney transplants were so common, Granted he spent quite some time in hospitals, but he never worried about it too much. It did not prevent him from doing what he wanted to do! He traveled abroad, married a nurse taking care of him, even though he hated sympathy he was fiercely independent. He started up a business of making hospital uniforms . He slept overnight on dialysis at hospital and went to his place of business every day. He was such a success. Eventually he had two kidney tŕansplants. The 2nd was very successful and served him well for over 10 years.

The reason I am telling this story is that his courage is helping me so much. To date I do not worry too much. He passed away at 46, and boy did he pack life into those 46 years His name was Paul! Good wishes to you all, I try to live every day as if it is a special day. George 01
