RawBeautyKristi | WHAT I'VE LEARNED IN THERAPY TO HELP MY HYPOCHONDRIA / "HEALTH ANXIETY" @RawBeautyKristi | Uploaded 9 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
2 years ago I suffered from a severe mental health crisis that forced me into therapy and mental health medication. During that time I learned a LOT about myself and what causes my severe and debilitating hypochondria *(health anxiety) - Today I wanted to share with you all what I have learned in doing 2x weekly therapy and EMDR. I have done SO much therapy and have reduced my anxiety by around 90% in regards to my health. I now worry (what I feel) is a relatively normal amount about my health and haven't spiraled about my health in over a year. That is UNHEARD of for me. I used to think that there was no hope for me, that I was doomed to ruminate and stress for the rest of my life about my health, but through TONS of work, medication, and consciously not googling - I am MUCH better. I was CERTAIN I would live this way forever, and I am no longer stressing about my health, even WITH new concerning bodily sensations popping up. I want to say, I am NOT a doctor, I am NOT a therapist BUT I am someone who lives with this debilitating mental illness and I have found a LOT of relief with what I talk about in this video. I HIGHLY recommend speaking to a professional if you can, therapists can be absolutely life changing.
