I find that when I'm anxious about something in particular, it actually starts to bother me. For example, I had a stomach virus a few weeks ago that has been treated. Now everytime I think about it, I get some kind of weird pain in my stomach or side. Then again, if I'm distracted, it doesn't bother me. Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm so sick of this health anxiety...
Health Anxiety, The more I think about something, the more it bothers me
I struggle with this as well. I have a very suggestive mind, if you know what I mean. I am trying to let the thoughts float regarding any new illness I might have. But, it takes an extreme amount of energy. Postive thinking, etc...hopefully, will make a difference.
