Repetitive Fear Thoughts

[Chimichanga]

How do you all work with repetitive fear thoughts? Now I can’t stop thinking/fearing about losing my hair. Granted I have no signs of hair loss, just another thing to fear about now…

I try to realize those are just thoughts, you don't even have to beleive them, they don't have to be true. I just let them go, I imagine them as words getting out of my head and going far away.
ACT therapy helped me a lot. Steven C Hayes and Russ Harris books are really good

I’ll look into it. Thanks so much!

What you have is a typical case of anxiety and OCD. Try Claire Weekes books and audio - she is a godsend. I personally prefer audio, I think it works better.

Also, being bald is awesome, I'm way more streamline in the pool and takes me way less time in the mornings

When it came to fearful thoughts the books The Little Book of Big Change and The End of Self Help finally helped me out.
