The story

Lately I just feel like I haven't had much enjoyment, actually that's just been my whole year. I did turn of age this year so that's good. Recently, I've been having bad health anxiety but I've been managing, today is just hard. It's exhausting and I wish i didn't have it, it's been making me have suicidal ideations, I'm constantly worried about every sensation in my body, thinking that I'm about to die. To help myself, I just accept death and see it was comfort so I'm not super scared. I'm not overweight and workout. Sometimes I get scared to workout because I think something bad could happen. Seeing online that active people or athletetic people can still die is also scary. I remind myself that those cases are rare and I'll be fine but even if they do happen, I'd try my best to be calm or accept my fate. I used to be a workout from but now I'm scared to do certain things. Ited helpful to know that I'm not alone tho and that's others go through the same thing. I also hate having veins, well not hate as they are needed but I don't like seeing them and feeling them inside my skin. I also dislike eating unhealthy foods, it's like every bite is closer to a health problem but that's kinda all of what my family buys, even frozen healthy foods can be unhealthy, it's like everything in American foods is trying to kill you which makes me eat less and go to bed hungry by accident. Living like this is tiring. Any help or advice is appreciated.

i totally get where you're coming from with health anxiety... it's a tough cycle to break. you might find it helpful to focus on cultivating mindfulness or gratitude practices, which can provide a healthier perspective on your body and habits. it's important to remember that no one is immune to these anxieties, but finding small ways to enjoy the present moment can make a big difference. have you thought about talking to a therapist? they can offer strategies that help manage these fears more effectively.

Yes, I've thought about it. I couldn't get one before because of my mom but now that im 18, I can. My mom said she'd help me with insurance and getting a new doctor, so I've just been waiting. I'm hoping I'll be able to get one and have it be affordable. :) Thxs for the response, I'll try and incorporate those into my life.
