Naking comparisons

[PerkyOchrePeer]

I've got a problem and that is i keep comparing myself to others. I've been told not to do this as it panics me. For instance, when I got sciatica I looked at others with it who are worse and thought I would end up like them. I have an eye condition and looked at the people with the same condition who can no longer see and panicked that I will go blind. I have to get out of this mindset because ive been told that just because these happen to others, it may not happen to me because I am different to them. I also panicked when I got a tooth infection and thought it would spread round my jaw because it happened to my dad. I also have a busy job with long hours and was going to leave because someone I know had a busy job and it led to a stroke and I thought I would have a stroke.

How do I get over thus

I want people's thoughts not something copied and pasted from the internet

I’m not sure that was even copied & pasted, I think it was a bot.

I’m in no way an expert on this, but it sounds as if therapy could help. Is that a realistic option?

It was the synopsis of the book I linked to. A self help
book.

🙄

In that case I apologise for saying you might be an AI bot, sorry @PInkyStarfish.
