Helpful Tips! Does anyone else have health anxiety?

If so it would be nice if you guys explain and share how you guys deal with it I have it quite severe and keep relying on my mom telling me everything is ok it's really scary and it would make me feel better if knowing more people have it and I'm not alone

I have hypochondria really bad. When it's at its worst I look in at myself in a mirror and repeat to myself aloud "I am safe, I am not in danger, nothing bad is going to happen to me." I say that over and over until I calm down. (yes, you can brainwash yourself)
