TIPS:✨ Accept that you’ll never find absolute certainty online. If you’re worried about symptoms, the best thing you can do is see your doctor.
✨ Remind yourself that googling only brings temporary relief. It might feel reassuring in the moment, but it actually fuels more anxiety in the long run. Your brain starts craving that quick reassurance, so you search again and again, but you never actually feel better.
✨ Try to sit with the uncertainty. When you get the urge to google, notice the discomfort it creates and just let it be there without reacting to it. If that feels too hard, try doing it for just a few minutes., then gradually increase the time. The more you practice this, the weaker the urge becomes.
✨ Write your fears down instead of googling them. Then, later, come back to what you've written and ask yourself: Were they true? Was it really as bad as you thought in the moment?
✨ When you get the urge to google and are trying to resist it, shift your focus to something that fully absorbs you. Listen to music, go for a walk, phone a friend, or do some mindfulness. Do whatever helps you stay engaged in the moment so you can break the cycle.
