Health Anxiety - HELP

So yesterday I posted that I was on the internet for quite a while and had myself worried sick that I had a rare cancer.  Today I worked all day and it was in the back of my mind and a couple times it came to the surface and I went into panic mode.  I came home and have been on the internet again and now obsessing about another symptom in a different part of my body.  Now I'm obsessing and can't get rid of it.  I got out my "When Panic Attacks" book and have been trying to focus on not obsessing but it isn't helping.  Yesterday I was for sure I had a very rare breast cancer and today I thought I had oral cancer.  I googled and scared myself silly.  I know you are going to say don't google.  I came here instead and am asking for any thoughts/advice/ideas as to how I can relieve these fears.

I am sorry that you are going through this ocean. I did post links for books on health anxiety in your other post on this subject...

...but for now, one quick exercise that you can do is to write down all of your current concerns. Then make two columns. In one column write down the true facts that support your fears. In the other, write down facts that speak against the worry. You will most likely find very few supporting facts...if any at all...but you will be able to come up with quite a few that disprove your fear I bet!  There are more thought challenge type worksheets to be found here if you'd like to try more:

Exercises such as these help us to look at the situation rationally, rather than just letting our minds run wild with scary and worst case senarios.

I hope that you can give this a try and find some relief.:)
