I feel like all I ever do is complain. I don't want to be this person! I don't want to be someone who complains all the time or is in fear that they are sick.

Am I really that bad? Is it bad that I googled it to see if there was a quiz to determine whether I am or not?
I am sorry that this is happening for you. Sometimes finding the reason we need worry helps. It has helped me a great deal to find the origin of the things I worry about. If health is an overall worry for you, it may be important to find the origin of this. I find that most things we focus on or worry are really there in place of something else.
Thanks for this!
