Can we please have a health anxiety topic?
I'm sick of chat, AIBU and other boards being taken up by stupid 'Omg there was a speck of dirt in my cup. I've washed, bleached and boiled it on the hob. AIBU to think of might die? I'm crying and shaking', type of posts.

Failing that, can you at least move them to the mental health board?

Hi there @Hermittrismegistus. We weren't aware of there being a large amount of these sorts of threads, but please do report them so we can have a look - it could just be that they aren't getting reported regularly so we're not aware of them. We don't always move threads unless the OP is asking, in which case we usually would, but if we think a thread would sit better elsewhere, we will. It may well be the case that if someone is in obvious distress and in need of support, a thread may be better in Mental Health than AIBU but we'd take each thread on a case-by-case basis.

With regards to a Health Anxiety topic, that might be a little niche and we'd hope anyone with that issue would find plenty of support in Mental Health or elsewhere, but if there were lots of support for a topic like that we'd definitely consider it.
