We are all going to die eventually and we can either sit around worrying about how and when it is going to happen or go out, take every opportunity that comes our way, and live life to the full. 

You say that part of your anxiety comes from the fear of not seeing your children grow up but, speaking from experience, having parents with health anxiety makes life really miserable. Since my parents developed health anxiety everything has become a real effort and spending time with them is not enjoyable anymore. 

Maybe next time you feel anxious and tempted to google you could go get your children and do something fun or plan something for you all to do together? Hopefully the distraction will help you overcone the anxiety and create lots of happy memories for your children at the same time.

Good luck and enjoy life

I have 3 young children & I am crippled with health anxiety at the moment & this comment has helped me. I'm sorry you had to experience that growing up! I will be making sure that this isn't the case for my kids. It is the worst feeling in the world being worried we won't be here for our kids but if we make their lives miserable along the way it's not good either. Thank you. X
