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.

    My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending.  She said that there are needs and there are wants.  She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it?  The answer is mostly "no".  So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed.  I also bought sheets that I don't need...
