Worrying all the time

[oetegenn1976]

Can't stop worrying about silly things, my health anxiety is playing up too, keep having pains in my left arm and convinced I'm having an heart attack! Due to all the stress I'm under.  Just so scared and cant stop worrying.

are you able to do some positive things to distract from the worries? play some nice music, watch some good comedy, do some art?

Hi oetegenn1976,

I am sorry you are feeling worried about silly things. I agree with leif, positive activities can be very helpful to feel less worried about things.

Do you have any hobbie? I am asking you because having a hobby that we enjoy brings us joy and enriches our lives, a hobbie keep our mind busy on positive things, 

Forcing yourself to work on something while you're worried really can make your worried thoughts go away. The key here is to occupy your hands or your mind--preferably both--in some task that requires a level of focus. For example, you could busy yourself with a task you don't mind doing that requires your concentration, or pull up a mobile game on your phone and lose yourself in it.

I hope it helps a little

I send you a big hug
