When family members reinforce digestive health anxiety together

My mom and I both developed digestive issues around the same time and we've become research partners trying to solve it together, but now we're obsessing over symptoms and comparing notes constantly. My dad says we're feeding each other's anxiety and making it worse, and I'm starting to wonder if our shared focus is helpful or harmful.
