I never know when I’m being dramatic about a symptom/feeling. I have abdominal pain, nothing really bad enough for me to take pain killers but there for me to notice, but am I only noticing it because I’m looking out for it and hyper aware of it? 

I was going to try and log these “symptoms” in a notebook so then I’d be able to look back and see how regularly they occur etc, and then try and make a decision on when to see a doctor etc, but will this just further feed my obsession with symptom checking? 

Really stuck on what to do and the bad thoughts/anxiety about it is affecting me more than the actual “symptoms”.
