How to stop thoughts of terrible diseases
When the health concern becomes excessive and not allows us to develop our business as normal, it is necessary to “make a mental high” and eliminate the negative fantasies “terrible” disease. Hypochondriacs are called “sick imagination” because they feel they have permanently entered into a new health problem (usually very serious and unresolved), but physiological tests prove otherwise.
The psquiatras Robert Ferguson, one of his books, offers some ways to curb their thoughts hypochondriacs suffer from terrible diseases that:
1) Find a new center: usually the hypochondriac lives thinking itself. And that’s the problem. It is therefore advisable to look for new interests. It is advisable to contact different people and keep the mind busy “outside.”
2) Leave the theme “Health”: Do not read medical information, or consult on pain symptoms and to see if they match that experience. Every time there is the issue, derived from attention to something else and, if possible, request not to discuss anything about it in their presence.
3) Consulting Expeditions: It is important to eliminate the necessity of seeing a doctor for any small symptom. Generally, this is the first step of long hours going from one specialist to another. Getting used to go only when it is not necessary, ie, whether a symptom is a real concern, not a headache to casual and temporary.
4) Finish with the “ritual” Mental Patients imaginary or hypochondriacs have a mindset that is repetitive and always follows the same sequence: the symptom is the prelude to a disease with no solution. Every time there, self-control, thinking about other things and trying to break that chain. The “boycott” the negative images of the mind, the next time you will become more difficult to provide control over emotions.
