I suffered through years of health anxiety… I saw all kinds of doctors and went to urgent care multiple times a year. I got all sorts of unnecessary testing on my heart. I was constantly terrified that I had a horrifying and incurable disease. Every sensation in my body felt threatening and scary. I spent hours googling symptoms and diseases. 

Having my daughter has been the most healing experience of my life. I look at her and know my body made her and successfully gave birth to her. She is the most beautiful and perfect human I have her seen and it makes me have so much trust and faith in my body and its innate intelligence. 

I haven’t even googled any diseases in a year now. I still have anxiety about other things, but that’s a work in progress.
