Health Anxiaty and depression

[Mgarcia0733]

Hi everyone I’m a 23 year old female and I have been suffering from health anxiaty and depression since 2016. I begin by feeling like I had breast cancer every little pain on my breast made me panic and to believe I would die soon. I went to the Dr. multiple times and they assured me I was fine and healthy but then thoughts kept coming and stronger. But now I keep thinking I have stomach cancer. And I keep having horrible thought about it and I keep going to “google” and looking for symptoms and somehow I ended up with those symptoms and it makes me freak out and I just end up having an anxiaty attack I feel like making an appointment with my doctor and just seen if I’m fine. Do any of you experience similar thought or a similar experience ?

Never google any symptoms. No matter what it always ends up as possibly cancer. If you have a broken toe and wind your way through google, it will end up as maybe bone cancer.

Hey there. I have it too. It is overwhelming sometimes. You need to believe the doctors and know that you are ok really x

I use to google my issues too. It was a path back to my black hole. It is not healthy to do that. Focus on what you want in your life. If you want peace and calm focus on meditation and envision that for yourself. I have a lot of anxiety and even have a panic attacks. I am doing a lot of deep breathing and meditation. That helps me. If you do feel you might have something wrong go and get it checked out. They can confirm or relieve your fears.
