Hi Hd120820,

I'm sorry that things are so difficult at the moment, but although things feel awful just now, it doesn't mean they always will, you just need the tools to begin to tackle this problem. Have you looked into accessing any Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on the NHS?

You might find the presentation Health Anxiety and OCD helpful at our annual conference this year. You can register for it here https://www.ocduk.org/conference/conferences-across-the-uk/2021-virtual/cafe/health-anxiety-and-ocd/
