Hi practo user, As mentioned by you, I understand that you are facing difficulty and are getting anxious for your health related concerns. It interferes with a person’s quality of life also. The information provided by you is quite brief but it is suggestive of Health Anxiety & there might be various underlying factors associated with it. Therefore, it is advised that you visit a clinical psychologist for a proper diagnosis and positive management.

Dear human, thank you for sharing and reaching out. It must have been very difficult to live with this anxiety and it’s associated negativity and it’s completely understandable. I appreciate your decision of taking the first step, seeking help, in your mental health journey. You’ve said that you feel anxious about your health which is quite understandable but to understand it completely, we need to discuss further about how it happens and why, which can be done through therapy. There is a huge difference between being normally concerned about your health with visible symptoms and being anxious about nothing or very small symptoms. It can be considered as severe anxiety only if you’re extremely scared of developing a major illness out of very small symptoms or nothing and if this fear mitigates your daily functioning in all aspects. Worry not, you don’t have to go through this alone, we could figure this out together during therapy. Some self-care techniques that might be of help: 1. Take care of your health by consuming a healthy diet, eating on time without skipping meals, sleeping and waking up early and developing a proper sleep schedule. Exercise daily like workout, taking a walk, yoga, or involving in any kind of physical movement that you prefer. 2. Practise mindfulness - Start gradually by practising it for a shorter time period like 10-15 minutes and later can be manifested into daily activities like mindful bathing, mindful eating, mindful walking, etc. You can start by using 5-4-3-2-1 exercise, that is to be in the present moment and name five things that you can see, four things that you can hear, three things that you can touch, two that you can smell and one thing that you can taste. This helps in focusing on present moments without thinking or being anxious about the future. 3. Talk to someone about how you feel about this or do journaling, write down your thoughts daily if you do not prefer to talk to someone. This could help in venting out your pent up anxious energy.

Hi there. I can understand how overwhelming it maybe for you when such thoughts start affecting how you feel throughout the day. The key is to recognise triggers throughout the day and be more mindful. This is step one. A lot of self care practices and activities to keep you engaged can put your mind at ease like hobbies, meditation, time with.loved ones etc. Cognitive behaviour therapy and mindfulness exercises can be useful too. Feel free to reach me to book a video or audio consultation through my.profile. I provide a lot of hands on activities during therapy with intermittent support.

Hi Glad u reached out. I can understand that u feel insecure and unstable with concerns related to ur health. Have u been facing any ill health recently ? It would help to know what has been ur past experience related to ur health and that of closed ones. Is this anxiety coming from a negative experience u had ? I can help u explore this and help u rationalise any unhelpful thinking patterns.

Pls feel free to connect over a session.

Wellness greetings to you.. Watch your language and choice of words, it says a lot about your subconscious mind pattern. "Whatever small happens" so one part of you says it is small but other part doesn't agree to it and becomes anxious.

Relax and step to get Profession help. This is just a simple indifference of thoughts and emotions.
