Hello everyone, I am currently a 25 year old girl crippled by hypochondria. The worst part of it is, I was not always like this; it started last summer when my mom got into a car accident. From that moment on,I have been a wreck diagnosing myself with lung cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer and lymphoma. I am a college student and I often find it hard to concentrate when I have papers and things to do because I am too busy googling symptoms.
My most recent ailment is kidney disease, this one has me really scared. On an average day I urinate about every half hour, this includes getting up in the middle of the night to go about every two hours. This started about a month ago and I am petrified that my kidneys are failing. I have no idea what to do and have a serious case of white coat syndrome- I have a panic attack as soon as a walk into my doctors office so I'm scared to get a urinalysis because I think they are going to confirm my worst fear. I am already picturing myself on dialysis. My boyfriend and my mother are running out of patience with me and I feel like I have no where to turn.
Thank you for reading I know it was long.
