Okay, so I have health anxiety. I've seen a lot of posts, spoken to a lot of people who also suffers from this and I know for a fact that a lot of you goes trough the same thing so at least I don't really feel alone.
Every time I have a minor sypomtom which can be a lot of thing, my brain always goes like: "Yea I don't wanna scare you but it might be cancer or other life treathening disease" and after that it goes like "Chill, chill it's not a 100% that you are dying buuuut you can never really relax cuz it always gonna be at the back of your mind unless you go to a doctor or something. "
Of course I'm joking but I think it describes decently what is going on in my mind.
And when finally I start to relax I ALWAYS find something new to worry about. 
Also I hate when I ask strangers about certain symptoms and they alwaya say that "might be nothing but better get it checked" or "go get it checked".
By that logic I would go to doctors offices in and out weekly. That's obviously not gonna help.
I mean, I get it why people say things like this, it's probably the most proper answer you can give.
But it's not helping for people like us or at least not to me.
We aren't idiot, we know that when you have a problem you go to the doctors. We just don't want that to be our weekly routine.
My family can get very frustrated when I bring up my health concers (which is understandable) and my girlfriend always tries to comfront me and will always listen, but I can tell that she herself is sometimes a bit annoyed, and obviously I never wanted to hurt anyone, I just don't want to feel this way. And I obviusly don't want to "use" my girlsfriend to listen zo all my problems (I only tell her what's wrong when I'm really stressed).
I've been to a therapidt years ago and it helped me a lot but she said she can't cure me she can only help me cure myself. I can totally agree with this statement, I feel like I come a long way from where I was years ago. But a lot of this it still gets the better of me.
What do you guys think?
