I hate health anxiety

[MissEd]

Its just so relentless. I spent 2 years worrying and obsessing i had bowel cancer. Now im constantly worried about my husband and son. Im doing online cbt but dont feel it is helping at all.

I know how you feel. It's happening right now for me. I try not to worry about the what ifs but it's so hard and like you said relentless. There will always be ups and downs. I hope you feel better and the CBT starts to help x

It’s very hard health anxiety, i have health anxiety myself along with gad, I also worry about myself and my children so much, and I did my ex too when we was together. It is hard to deal with, can you go to the gp and have therapy rather than online x

I couldn't do it face to face as i dont have childcare and my son is only 10 months x

Aww that’s a shame, I’ve been quite a few times to counselling aswell as cbt, I no it’s not ideal but I did Take mine a few times when they was little, could a family member help you out x

Definitely can relate. It's like it goes from one obsession to the next. And once you've convinced yourself, it's the hardest to undo. Our very own "what ifs" grow into this demon that we can escape until we do. And then there's the next one waiting to start right back over.
