Anxiety and health anxiety really do be the leech that keeps on leeching. It's especially nasty when the thing you're fixating on is something mental instead of physical, you quickly end up convincing yourself you're going crazy and you don't know what to trust in your head. So you ruminate and ruminate because you need certainty or a logical explanation otherwise something bad is gonna happen *surely*, then you end up going through dissociation or gaining intrusive thoughts, which doesn't help at all.
I'm so tired man.

Late night anxiety/health anxiety is the worst. It compromises me from sleeping cause I don't feel "safe" enough to sleep.
It's 4am right now with symptoms that are triggering my health anxiety, and the probability of me sleeping iss..... very very slim. I hate being sleep deprived so fucking much, I just feel like pure crap the entire day and it makes my anxiety worse. I'm so fucking tired of going through these nights man I hate this. Hate hate HATE.

Fun night tonight to ruminate ruminate ruminate and be anxious about being anxious and be crippled by health anxiety and hate how my body just doesn't reach homeostasis anymore in my late 20's so I'm constantly tormented by what if's with health stuff. I just feel like I'm being swallowed and spat out over and over I wanna tear my hair out 🙃🙃 aAAHHHH

As someone with health anxiety, I'm surprised to say that secondhand is almost worse than self health anxiety. Almost.
Secondhand as in, having health anxiety for someone else. I've noticed that it makes me feel a certain kind of helplessness, makes me feel trapped. Because, it's outside of me so it feels even more out of my control, and I end up being paranoid over everything they say and do, and I don't feel prepared to handle something like that when it's outside of me. I don't know how to handle it, handle my anxiety. It's a horrible fucking night tonight.

I love suddenly finding a part of my outside ear swollen at 3am, with no explanation as to why and pretty much exacerbating my horrible health anxiety to the point where there's a chance I won't sleep tonight. Fucking perfect.
And there's a little physical discomfort to boot.
👍👍👍👍👍
Can't catch a break.

rumination is not problem-solving.
you are not going to fix anything at 2am.
you are not going to solve anything by worrying real hard about it.
have faith that you will be able to solve problems as they arise.
have faith that you will find the resources to solve problems properly when they actually come up, rather than telling yourself that if you just think hard enough the problem won’t happen at all.
