Are you a hypochondriac too?

[lilkay45]

Hello folks,

how are y’all doing during this quarantine? I’ve been up and down. I am a hypochondriac so this time ain’t easy for me and I feel like I become a even more aware of possible symptoms and more due to covid 19 or other illnesses. It’s been tough. I definitely know I’m not alone out there but wanted to rant it out and see anyone else can relate to me. I live in the USA (where test kits are limited) and I did call my doctor a couple days ago about something else (not covid 19) but she didn’t want me to go to the office because it can risk the chance of exposure. So for now I’m just doing the exercises I can and try to keep up my mental state. I have seen a therapist before about hypochondriac but it was about three years ago. I’ve looked into online options but currently out of a job due to the Coronavirus and also reading the reviews on better help, makes me scare of trying it out.

I'm one. I think it has a lot to do with me being a worry wart. It didn't help either when I got sick a little bit before covid19 hit the U.S. I'm just staying home now and not trying to overthink everything.  I wish you the best!
