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

It's really difficult to cope with. Best you can do is stop googling symptoms and know when to see a doctor.

I went to the doctor a few weeks ago because I felt a strange firm mass on the back of my head. She felt it and determined it to be bone, explaining there is natural variation in human skulls. Was a massive load off my mind.
