Health Anxiety
I know that I have health anxiety but it usually doesn't bother me since I only feel/experience it everytime I feel something weird with my body. Recently I've been having mild pains that comes and goes on abdomen. I've consulted 3 doctors and they said I'm fine except that my urinalysis result confirmed i have UTI but its not serious. I've been thinking the worse possible illness and I can't seem to trust. I wanna feel better and not be like this because its affecting my everyday lifestyle. I stopped working out, can't seem to stop googling symptoms online, paranoid over small muscle movements, and been wanting to consult a few more specialist eventhough I was assured that I'm fine. I guess i signed up here to look for comfort and to relate to people going over the same things. I am positive that I'll get through this its just that I feel like I lack support from people around me.

I too am hoping that I can look for comfort and to relate to people too, and I actually have struggled with googling things like this, but to make it worse I am so poor I couldn't even go to the doctor, and honestly I have almost convinced myself I have serious health problems. among many many other things I struggle with BUT I am searching for people for people to be able to open up with and to share and put my thoughts and feelings into words and to find how others also struggle with similar things, or if nothing else have empathy.
and honestly if I am gonna be honest I used a text crisis hot line yesterday and that Is how I signed up, and when you friend-ed me, I felt maybe this will be a place that I will be able to find those who care, even though I frequently alone in my day to day life, maybe here, we all, as a community, can help each other in times of need and feel that there is one place people will empathize :)
so thank you~
