I'm trying to drag myself out of a particularly horrible and prolonged bout of health anxiety with the help of GP and meds.
Now that I'm seeing the first signs of being able to think more positively I'd like to know if anyone else has had success with trying to distract themselves from their anxiety? I'm sick of getting dragged down into googling things or constantly overthinking symptoms and sensations and checking myself. I'm so tired of it.
When I'm feeling a lot better i like a bit of meditation but at the moment that just provides space for dwelling on things and becoming too aware of every single physical sensations which needs to stop! I need some mindlessness instead of mindfulness!
