About this listen

It starts with a twinge, a bump, a strange sensation.
And suddenly… your brain fills in the blanks with the worst possible outcome.

This episode of Tickety Boo dives into the exhausting, spiralling world of health anxiety when your mind can't help but scan your body for danger and Google your way into panic.

We talk about:

  • The real reason your brain fixates on symptoms

  • Why logic doesn't always help when fear takes over

  • The loop of checking, googling, avoiding, and overthinking

  • How trauma, control, and uncertainty feed the anxiety

Whether you've lived with health anxiety for years or you're just starting to notice the signs, this one's packed with real talk, lived experience, and a few laughs to keep it grounded.

Because when you're stuck in your head, it helps to know you're not the only one there.
