I have such bad health anxiety it's unreal.
Sending myself into full blown panic attacks thinking I have shit like lymphoma, ms, als, diabetes, fucking whatever, googling shit.
How do I stop caring, not like I can afford to go the doctor anyways.
I'm not like a germaphobe and worried about getting a cold, that shit is whatever, but I'm absolutely fucking terrified of catching a slow, progressive, chronic illness

Have you tried talking to AI about it?

So what if you do? You have two options, forget about it and live your life or admit you will eventually die from something anyway and life your life.

Just think

Whenever you get anxious

1. Even at the best health possible, you will get old, lose your abilities you once had, and die.
2. The best prevention is to live a healthy life. Exercise, cut out seed oils and sugar, etc.
3. Fast to improve immune system
4. Accept your fate.
5. Religion

Oblivion is preferable to Yahweh worship for eternity.

it's definitely something to fear because it's real
however fear itself is something that can create symptoms out of thought alone
so maybe find a way to reduce anxiety
like booze

>>507046610 (OP)
Get your booster shot, you'll be fine.

You probably already have some chronic condition (that doesn't even mean that it's defined as an illness), one that is causing your abnormal level of anxiety. There are quite a few conditions that can cause this. Atypical celiac disease for example.

If you don't try to deal with your anxiety it will only get worse. Once you pass 30 your health will start to noticeably take a dip for the first time.

I’ve been in the same boat, anon. I have ocd and health anxiety is one of my big obsessions. It was bad for me recently, I just had my first child and it made me become very preoccupied with my mortality. I was worried that I had cancer because of a little burn in my abdomen. I had a colonoscopy/endoscopy and it turns out everything was fine. In the aftermath it just makes me feel embarrassed. It’s hard, man, I think the best we can do is just attempt to live our best day to day and uphold the best moral values we can in our actions. Throw yourself into something productive, maybe.

It is important to understand what you are doing when you are worrying about your health - you want a sense of certainty, so you fixate on the issue to try to "think" your way out of it. You are trying to get rid of a feeling. You are trying to get rid of a sensation by thinking about it. Thinking about it, counterintuitively, makes it worse because you start intellectualizing things, which leads to more possibilities of what the issue could be, which causes more anxiety to fix it or "solve" the feeling, which starts the cycle again.

It's not easy because the "solution" is to not solve it. I could explain more about this, but basically, it's about fostering self compassion. Your body and mind are trying to protect you. You are not going to be able to try to convince your mind and body to not protect you (i.e. by intellectualizing a valid concern a part of your nervous system has, even if you deem it unreasonable).

Take some deep breaths. Notice the anxiety. Notice how your body reacts. Remind it you are safe. Disorders occur because our nervous systems hate doing something different. Neurons that fire together wire together. That's why it's hard for anyone to do something different. There is resistance. The more you practice noticing what your body is doing and giving it space without reacting, the easier it will be to gently ease out of the restriction.

you need to learn to focus your mind onto other things. It's easy to form habits, and defaults, but now you have to break this illogical line of thought.
When you find your mind wandering towards nonsense, shift it towards something else or start doing something else.
Music can help shift the mind, but ultimately you have to take control, and captain your "ship" towards better waters. (Figurative)

Have confidence in your health and read yourself as being healthy, and happy.

Take time every day to express gratitude for what you have, and let go of your fear.
Face yourself as a man, and realize you are strong enough to weather any storm.

Even though our time here on Earth may be limited, you are not what dies. You are what remains after death. Face both life and death with dignity, free of fear.

>>507046610 (OP)
Everybody dies.

Unironically believe in Jesus Christ. This world is temporary. You will die, chronic illness or no chronic illness, because you're a sinner who does things to try to provoke and hurt God just like the rest of us. It's our true "chronic" condition. There's something fundamentally wrong with all of us. Repent and believe the Gospels, Christ already defeated death, demonstrating the resurrection to come for the rest of us. All you need to do is believe in Him. If you don't believe me, then start by simply admitting that you're going to die eventually as a fact, and, importantly, that you have no control over this. I was you once, I also had panic attacks, and I was a believer who had become an atheist. I'm ashamed to admit that it is possible, actually, to forget you're going to die, more possible than you realize, but once it's happened, it's like you're sleeping while you're awake and you can't wake up. Christ can and will save you from this waking nightmare, he is the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.

You are literally going to get SOMETHING no matter what you do m8, if you're not dead from some other shit, disease will 100% get you. Stop being stupid. Your job isn't avoiding disease it's living a fulfilling life, which starts by not browsing this shithole, at least for starters.

>I had a colonoscopy/endoscopy and it turns out everything was fine.
The amount of times someone who had cancer had this exact same thing just before finding out they had cancer will make you nutjobs go insane lol.
>I went to every doctor and they all said I was fine
>then one day I had a symptom
>went to doctor
>fucking deadly cancer
You really can't win trying to play that kind of game.

Cancer is a fungus. Body fights these things off natively. Just be healthy.

Chronic illnesses are a product of hard tissue infection, a dead pocket of bone in your jaw under your molar extraction site, usually. Or they're from a bad diet that feeds pathogens while you're immunocompromised from the above.

Don't get fat. If you are fat, lose weight. A lot of chronic illness is caused by being a landwhale.
