>>538800960Just make peace with death, then nothing that can cause death will give you anxiety. Also, stop lying to yourself and pretending that your current views are "high IQ". Being fearful of death is blatant stupidity.
>>538800960>I wish I was lower IQ so I didn't have this terrible conditionAnon if you care for those bullshits probably you are the one with low IQ
>>538800960I overcame this by telling myself "no". It's not easy, but it is straightforward and it works. I didn't even realise it was a formal technique, I just one day decided to start reacting to "what if?" with "No." "I am simply not going to engage with this, no". It took a long time but eventually it worked, I just stopped having those thoughts altogether. I went from thinking every heartbeat was my last and every lump was a cancer to forgetting it was ever a problem.I can't guarantee it stays away forever, I recently had some serious health problems and the health anxiety came back with a vengeance, but it remains specific to my condition rather than speculative. My battle now is regaining trust in my body, slightly different. But if your issue is a series of "what if I'm the exception and something was missed", and it moves between different potential problems (rare heart problems, rare cancers, rare genetic disorders) etc, start just telling yourself "Stop. No. We're not doing this right now." Like you're firmly (but not harshly) disciplining a child.
>>538801800To clarify, don't engage with it or try and rationalise it all. Tell the thought "no" and then deliberately think about something else or do something that takes your mind as far away from it as possible. I promise the thoughts will stop happening, just keep telling them "No" and eventually they give up
>>538800960All my anxiety problems were solved with black cumin oil.This is truly a miracle plant.
>>538800960I am the worst kind of hypochondriac. Constant fear. Constant googling. Never got to a doctorI have had success beating it with alcoholism and ssris
Realize that doctors are more likely to hurt you than help you unless you are in acute and severe pain.You eventually will develop something fatal that kills you and there is NOTHING you can do about it.Also, life hasn't gotten painful enough for you. Once it does, you won't care.T. Health Anxiety sufferer (former) with diseases.
>>538801946instructions unclear. i inserted the black cumin oil into my anus AND my penis hole. will i overcome my health anxiety now?
>>538802241Yes it will still work
>>538800960>How do I stop giving a shit and truly live life?You just do it. There are no deep meaningful answers and therapy is a load of bullshit. Life is simply about doing and yes you can just do things. If you trained yourself to think one way you can train yourself to think a different way.
>>538802241
>>538802293I would even argue (from experience) that therapy makes it worse, rehashing the same thing over and over without resolution. The resolution comes from within, the divine spark of decision to draw the boundary in your own life, and mind.
