I struggle a lot with health anxiety it always jump from one thing or another and I hate it. Yesterday I was watching tiktok and a video popped up basically saying you could get thorat cancer from oral s*x. Im not sexually active and I know I shouldn't worry when I'm not but idk I guess i think of the future and worry about stuff like this since I don't want that happening to me. I just don't know how to get over it I'm even worried and scared to have s*x with a man since I'm afraid of getting hpv (and other STDs) but I truly don't know how to stop this fear and worry I have over it :(

They have a vaccine for hpv. We are all going to die. All you can do is take care of your health. Tiktok is absolute garbage. Too many lies and fantastic claims there. Don't watch fear mongering content if you don't want to be anxious. You need to be careful what you feed your mind.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
