Health Anxiety

I’ve been struggling with really bad health anxiety. Ive had it for years but I’ve only decided to act up on it now. I used to be very nervous at school which constantly made me feel anxious, even when I got back home, and I think it turned into something more, because of my anxiety I’ve been getting these symptoms that really freaked me out (I didn’t know these symptoms were a cause of my anxiety) that being said, I genuinely thought something was wrong with my health, I obsessively searched through the internet making sure whatever I’m feeling is normal, because I couldn’t get these intrusive thoughts out of my head, but it would only make me worse because then I’d start assuming I have some rare disease or something. I get slight headaches, tremors/twitches (especially in my legs, head and stomach) chronic pain and occasionally chest pain. Even though I know it’s anxiety it’s like my brain refuses to believe so. I remember I was feeling nauseous and very weak for a whole day, I couldn’t get out of bed at all or I felt like I was going to faint or throw up, I had to rock myself to sleep because it’s the only way I felt comforted while taking deep breaths. Luckily it was just for one day, the next days were better but yet It still wasn’t completely over. I’ve called a doctor and they suggested I see a therapist before deciding to take any medication, so that’s what I did, but due to the pandemic it might take a while by the looks of it. I would always feel better knowing or talking to someone who’s going through the exact same thing as me because it makes me feel less alone. Maybe if anyone has some advice or techniques to cope with it would be nice.
