The most sensible advice I have ever heard when it comes to health anxiety and perfectly explained. Only someone who has been through this can understand and pass suggestions on like this. So so grateful you have used your experiences to help others - you have been a sanity saver for me even most therapists I’ve seen don’t totally ‘get’ it because they haven’t been there themselves. They know how it works but they haven’t lived it so their advice falls short of someone you know has (and some).Thank you ❤
You are 100% correct. You explained all my details etc well! Each month I've got a new issue ie one month stabbing pain in groin/balls, then a lump on neck, then a pain somewhere else, paranoid about pooing blood or something, V shaped lumps on back of tongue, now it's muscle twitching in lower right belly with slight sickness feeling... Convinced it's cancer or liver failure etc! Wtf why why why.
I totally understand. I have imagined I have had evert type of cancer possible. FOr the past 6 years I am totally obsessed with having lung cancer. I had numerous blod tests, urine tests, stress test, checks from family doctor, an xray, the year or so later had ct scan, and another xray 2 weeks ago. Every test came back with good results. After all this i still have health anxiety about cancer. I just want it to stop. I am so exhausted. All suggestions welcome.
@@sciencetest8 Hi. Same here. Still ongoing. It's a form of OCD I think. I had another blood test today and awaiting results. Still got IBS symptoms as explained above which I forgot I posted about here! To add to Thai I've just had to put my dog down aged 15. The Nusea and stabbing pains come in waves.
I just spent 10 days thinking I had breast cancer because one of my boobs was hurting, near my armpit. Until I got my period and the pain disappeared over night 😂🙈 I am 40. I should be used to PMS and boob pain 😅
I'm so thankful I found you! Thank you for all your great information! I had no idea that health anxiety was a thing but I think that's what I've been suffering from and you are helping tremendously! Thank you!
hi can you make a video on the physical changes happens over the time due to stress or anxiety. Like any changes to skin with black or white spots, nails changes, etc
Thanks Cherelle for sharing. Means everything to me. I have gotten so much better with your help and kindness by helping me. I’m not completely healed but better than I was a year ago. Just by watching your videos and prayers. I watch all your videos. I will pay it forward
I can put your advice right into practise, since I got a brandnew symptom today! So, I will sit with it for 2 weeks. I saw this after my google search, so, perfect timing 😅
You are a driving force for good and clarity. Thank you for all your uploads and work! Simply amazing :3 hope you are having an amazing life and continue to do so.
The awful thing with me is I have health anxiety when I don't even have symptoms. I don't have to have symptoms to think that I have a disease. I have fear a lot of the time for just fear of getting cancer, or some kind of other awful disease. It just won't give me rest. It's constant with me. I hate it.
Absolutly agree, perfectly explained. You are an inspiration of Hope for all health anxiety sufferers. Thank you for sharing your experiences to help others
I have an autoimmune n have been having trouble being between researching for knowledge vs giving myself extra anxiety. Sometimes doctors dont take u serisouly or lack knowledge. Its a challenge for sure.
Lady, you have been helping me so much over the last few months. I never had true, extreme health anxiety, but these last 4 months, things got wild. You're helping me and so many. Thank you ❤
I'm living in this loop, where I don't stop googling the symptoms and it gets worse every day. I'm having fasciculations and it's making me feel really bad. I'm just like you, checking my body to see if I haven't had atrophy, wanting answers from doctors, even though my neurologist says it's BFS, he did tests, etc, I can't seem to believe it's just anxiety. Nightmare I have experienced in my life. Your videos have helped me try to forget this problem. We will get better, like you. Thanks for your help ❤
I had an eye twitch for 8 months… all caused by a really stressful period of my life. It was the eye first and then, everywhere else. It finally went away and hasn’t come back 4 years later. It was anxiety causing it. I have horrible health anxiety and it was horrible while it lasted.
Yes, that is exactly how it works, not only with health, when ive seen watery trail from my car after returning from shop, first thing i thought is that its loosing cooling fluid, but it was actually from AC, since it also produces liquid, i checked the hood and cooling liquid was fine.
How do you deal with people saying that if you feel something's wrong, it might be your intuition and the way of your body alarming you about a serious issue? Also with people saying if you feel something's wrong and the doctor says it's fine, advocate for yourself more because many times they miss things or neglect symptoms? This is the most difficult part for me.
Me too…I struggle with that. I guess it’s a matter of time. I’ve found that some symptoms subside when I do the above. Also having faith in your doctor and not reading aaaallll the stuff online around doctors missing something. Sometimes they do but it’s rare. Most of them are thorough ❤
I have IBS but always gets worse when I convince myself it’s colon cancer. Googling ruined my life and I cannot get it back together. 6 months dealing with gut issues and constant change in bowel habits and I don’t know what to do anymore. IBS and anxiety together are ruining my life.
My anxiety has affected my nervous system so much...i have assaulted my nervous system nd i am sure everyone going through this mental illness has ...... I will do everything to come out of flight nd fight
What if eventhouh I am not reactive the symptoms keep staying persistent even if I don’t resist? 😢it’s been months What if medication didn’t help the symptoms everyday but only once in a while? 😢 What if you can’t heal bc you dont sleep well?
I am in the middle of it, Had dent on my left leg suggesting of Atrophy, hyperreflexia 3+ on left leg only, speech problem. Had MRI done and unfortunately it was normal, next is EMG on this Tuesday may be. I don't know this is just anxiety or real ALS, if any one here had similar symtoms and that didn't get to MND or ALS, please tell me otherwise google has confirmed it that i have ALS
"Unfortunately" your MRI was normal? What kind of statement is that? People with cancer would be pissed to read that. You should be glad it was normal and focus on therapy for your health anxiety. Google can't confirm anything and neither can you. Nothing you described is concerning or suggestive of ALS.
I’m so bad that I have a symptom.. research the heck out of it.. make a drs appt asap and then cancel the appt bc I am too afraid of what they will tell me.. ugh it has controlled me for so long .. I need your help!
I have had a blood test and I am worried about diabetes because since Covid I have felt exhausted. I had a funny turn before when I didn’t eat for a while. I am extremely nervous and I keep thinking about a phone call telling me I have diabetes or even worse.

If you're 40 you should also have had a mammogram by now and that should give peace of mind.

Swollen lymph node in my armpit for me only AFTER I started freaking out and constantly poking it. Trying so hard to break through this mental illness
👍! Going to apply your method and god bless, thank you for helping many of us by just a simple sharing..🙏
Super practical, kind, helpful and to the point. Thank you ever so much for your wonderful reassuring videos ❤

I have anxiety and worry about my physical health alot. I also rush to A & E and cant stop googling symptoms 😢

Same
If you've had constant change in bowel habits you should've gotten a colonoscopy anyway and that would in turn fix your colon cancer anxiety.
My anxiety has affected my nervous system so much...i have assaulted my nervous system nd i am sure everyone going through this mental illness has ...... I will do everything to come out of flight nd fight
I’m having chest pain, stomach pain and headaches
It’s so weird sometimes I feel like something is moving in my body 😢😢😢
What if eventhouh I am not reactive the symptoms keep staying persistent even if I don’t resist? 😢it’s been months
What if medication didn’t help the symptoms everyday but only once in a while? 😢
What if you can’t heal bc you dont sleep well?
Great advice. Thanks so much.

Hi I have health anxiety, I am from Australia, how do I get your services? Thanks.
I have had a blood test and I am worried about diabetes because since Covid I have felt exhausted. I had a funny turn before when I didn’t eat for a while. I am extremely nervous and I keep thinking about a phone call telling me I have diabetes or even worse.
Is it possible to continue having symptoms even though you are “relaxed”?
yes!
@@kristagibson8533 thank you so much!
What symptoms are you having?
Yes, happened to me too with health anxiety
Usually the symptom is all brought by a trigger and worry anyways.
Chatgpt is a good and a worst friend for health anxiety
