Hypochondriasis
Since 1 year , I am having anxiety issue(started with covid).
Now I think in particular I am a hypochondriac.
Small symptoms and I am upset for few days, till something next seen.
Previously main fear was covid, now it is black fungus, Sometimes others too.
Breathing exercise, relaxation technique, I am aware of and doing but no such benefit.
Even visited psychiatrist, so having one clonafit also daily.
Contacted 2 counserlors here on practice, they were more irrelevant than random youtube channels.
What to do further...Any method or technique??

Hi, I understand the covid-19 pandemic has created uncertainty. You feel anxious about your health even when symptoms are not very severe. What you are going through is common. You can consult a psychologist with whom you can address your fears. With counseling sessions you can gradually work on overcoming Hypochondriasis. To feel calm ensure to eat well, drink sufficient amount of water and sleep well. You can engage in physical activity that helps fight stress. Avoid too much caffeine and sugar.

Hello dear
I can understand that you might be feeling frustrated due to your anxiety and you want to get rid of it. You have used as many methods as you can in order to be free from your anxiety that has increased due to covid-19. Your past experience with the counsellors and psychiatrist may not be up to the mark. But that doesn't mean that you won't get the better ones. I would recommend you to contact a counsellor further for your better understanding regarding what's going on as well as what you aren't able to realise or tap in.
You can also contact me. I will guide you and help you through the process.
