I’ve had a lot of anxiety surrounding my health for a long while and I have noticed that it ebbs and flows depending on what intense emotions I feel and what triggers are happening. 
 I tend to get VERY preoccupied with what my body is Doing but never really feeling connected to myself or my body that is doing the Thing. I tend to become overly aware of my body when I notice the tiniest bodily changes and blow it out of proportion and cannot let it go. I begin to diagnose myself with many different illnesses and seek affirmations from others surrounding my suspected illness. 
It’s exhausting bc I realize what I’m doing but the anxiety will not settle even with the use of my DBT skills. 

I don’t know if it’s a borderline thing or what bc I also see it in my cousin who has bpd and one of my clients with bpd (i’m a social worker.) 

does anyone else relate ?
