Does it ever get better
Developed health anxiety at the end of last year. Went to therapy for a little while, didn’t stick to it because it felt like every time I came out of it, I need to do some type of “homework” and therapist solving a problem. I don’t even know what I need at this point. I know it takes practice to keep it at bay but they pop up frequently, whether it is about myself or when I hear about health issues of family members, I start ruminating and worrying. There’s also one worry after the other. A new concern pops up when I mentally settle with the current one. I know the sensations are real sometimes but my conclusions of them is always a catastrophic one. I never seem to consider any other ordinary explanations for how I’m feeling. I just need it to stop. What are some long term strategies you use or in the moment strategies that help you redirect so that you are not thinking, checking the sensations every waking moment?
