Has anyone done this?

I find myself looking up every drug or pill that I take and then read the side effects and I actually BELIEVE that I am experiencing the
side effects. Then, I scare myself into not taking them because I am worried about getting
the side effects.

Stop it. Don't look up the drugs anymore - and feel the anxiety that this action will produce. Use your tools through the experience. STOP sign, calm breath and attention shifting - to something you are doing in the present moment.

Thanks; I will try to distract myself away from
the unwarranted worrying.
