Health Anxiety

[colleen90]

I can’t cope with my health anxiety anymore I have tried everything, meditation, diet, herbal teas, reading books, living through it….I'm exhausted 😭 I hate the feelings but I allow them to happen as I know it’s just nervous energy, but I am mentally tired of thinking about it all the time.

What therapies have you tried so far?

Hi

I'm the same, also did CBT which helped a bit but not enough. I've tried working through this https://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Resources/Looking-After-Yourself/Health-Anxiety

It's very good and has helped me understand WHY I'm like this. The difficulty is putting it into practice. All these therapies give you the tools but it's using them which is the hard bit!

I'm feeling the same OP. I do have health problems too but the anxiety they will flare up and other things happening can be overwhelming. I also have medical PTSD which adds to it.

CBT and Hypnotherapy. Most of the work I have done myself through mindfulness, reading and just getting on with things.

Thank you, will give this a go. I found a book called “at last a life” by Paul David very helpful.

Keep pushing through. I read a book called “at last a life” by Paul David very helpful.
