I have health anxiety. Currently worrying about something that happened earlier and normally I would be googling and googling for reassurance.

I am determined not to this time. I will NOT do it but I definitely need a distraction. Anyone about with some awful dad jokes or something or want to chat about their day?

I'll even take more tips on recovering from health anxiety.

What are you doing tomorrow OP? Have you got any plans? We're going to have a BBQ and sit in the garden. It's going to be swelteringly hot by the looks of it!

I have health anxiety too and am a chronic googler! Have you considered using a screen blocking app or similar at least for now until the urge to google goes down a bit?

As for distraction, are you watching any good tv shows at the moment? I need a good recommendation!

We are traveling to Shropshire to camp for the week!

Dreading pitching campnin the heat but we're pretty practiced at it now.

What are you in to @gentlemum ? We've just watched Des on Netflix (about the serial killer Denis Nillsen)

I do enjoy a true crime documentary so will give that a go! I’m just finishing the Netflix documentary about the biggest loser

@fancypantss who's coming to your BBQ?
