Anyone know how to combat health anxiety / hypochondriasis?

Kinda serious post, but I have always struggled with this shit. I used to be able to keep it under control when I had lots of shit I HAD to do every day, but university life fucked me. I have way too much control over every day life, and because I'm a chud and don't have any friends in uni, I've essentially been home all day. I have always very actively tried to avoid bpa, bps, phalates, microplastics, etc, but now it has gotten out of control. I'm tryna read some math and physics but my sleep schedule is fucked and I always stress about getting some substances in my bed so I can't even fucking fix it. Like if I touch a reciept I have to wash my hands like 7 times, and even then I wont touch anything for hours. If I touch some polyester fabric I have to shower and even showering takes ages because I stress about the soap being on my body. I already go to a psychatrist for various reasons, she is suggesting like ocd group sessions, but I'd rather kms than go to that retarded shit. Idk how to fix this though.... like most people with health anxiety worry about dying. I don't really gaf, I just don't want to impair my current life. Like I'd rather die in a car crash than get 2 fingers chopped off istg. Asking here because normal people are usually retards. I know the stress is worse for me than the dosages of these substances, but for me it seems to be the choice of stressing about getting it away, or stressing about it being there + the negative physical effects it has. ND life is so hard man

Dawg do u realise how strong ur immune system is

+ practically any serious life-threatening health issue can be reversed or managed

You’re literally manifesting sickness into ur life, if ur constantly worried or thinking about health issues, what ends up happening is ur body starts listening to ur thoughts and confirm ur thesis/worries

There’s nothing as damaging as thinking to your body

Bro I mean I obviously know it isn't healthy, but again I am not worried about dying at all. Like I just don't want to impair my physical and mental abiities through these retarded chemicals. Again, I know its not healthy to stress about it either. I don't know what kind of therapy I should utilize though. Talking doesn't seem to work but like exposure therapy, in this case, will literally have a quantifiable negative affect on my system. I know its a positive feedback loop but how do I break it
