Ways to help yourself through depression and anxiety: 1. Exercise: Either it is walking/running/swimming/ or yoga. Or go hit the gym,it is also a great way to help you meet new people and make new friends. It makes you feel happier, more relaxed and less anxious. You may also feel better about yourself,which boost your confidence. 2. Practice Meditation & listening to your own breathing. It is other way of reducing stress. 3. Mental fitness: Same like your body needs exercise, your brain too needs exercise & training to work well,after all it is just a part, like any another part of the body.But it is not so simple to understand. Give it a challenge. Try to solve puzzles/sudoku/crosswords. Do solve some logical questions. 4. Enjoy yourself: Enjoyment is not just hanging out/ having fun with others. Everyone has their own way of it. Do what makes you happy. 5. Dwelling on past experiences: well, everyone makes mistakes after all we are humans..Don't regret about it,learn from it.Keep your mind open. 6. Listen to soft relaxing music: of instruments like flute,piano,violin. I personally like piano. It makes you feel good. 7. Practice positive self-talk: Simple rule, Don't say anything to yourself that you wouldn't say to anyone else. Accept the way you are, accepting yourself is the only way to overcome low self-esteem. 8.Overthinking: Overthiking is the misuse of imagination. "Less thinking, more living" Boredom is the main reason for overthiking. Instead, Try Change of the routine Go out doors Take up a new hobby Learn new skilks Keep yourself busy 9. Know who You are!!!: Yes, know about yourself.....Explore yourself,know your real worth,recreate yourself. Have some quality "ME" TIME!!! 10. Eat & drink right. 11. Have a good tight sleep. 12.

Talk with someone who makes you feel good and alive, who will make you forget about all atleast for a moment. Those friends can be your pets also; best friend, furry friend. And one more thing, Atleast have one older friend.You can learn a lot from them because their experience is of your age. Thinking about the past and being regretful and depressed about it ; Thinking about the future and being anxious is not good. Live in the moment, appreciate the beauty in every activity every second of the day. " Here and now," Hope this helps.

Experiencing heightened anxiety and physical symptoms following a dog bite, despite full vaccination, is understandable. Your persistent fears about rabies, brain tumors, and aneurysms, coupled with symptoms like headaches, muscle twitching, dry mouth, and sleep disturbances, suggest the possibility of health anxiety, also known as illness anxiety disorder. Health anxiety involves an excessive preoccupation with having or acquiring a serious illness, often leading to significant distress and impairment in daily functioning. It’s important to note that psychological distress can manifest as physical symptoms, which can further fuel anxiety. Therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), has proven effective in treating health anxiety. CBT helps individuals identify and challenge irrational thoughts, develop healthier thinking patterns, and reduce maladaptive behaviors. By working with a mental health professional, you can learn coping strategies to manage your anxiety, alleviate physical symptoms, and improve your concentration and overall well-being. Seeking therapy is a proactive step toward regaining control over your thoughts and emotions, ultimately enhancing your quality of life.

Hi You have developed the anxiety symptoms because of the stressors you have been through and it's fuelled by excess internet checking. You have developed health anxiety. All you need to do is stop the cycle is flooding you brain with unnecessary information regarding the illness symptoms coming for internet and do relaxation techniques. Seek consultation for management.
