Tired of hypochondria... -_-

[Rls1994]

It's not a normal type of hypochondria either. It's severe and making my life hell.

I think I have everything wrong with me. Stomach cancer, gum disease, diabetes, heart disease, everything. It's dumb, I know, considering I'm only 19 but I can't stop worrying. :weep:

I barely sleep and think I will die before I am 30. Anyone else like this??

I'm only 23 and I'm like this. I hate being scared of sleep worrying I won't wake up. Hypochondria is a CURSE of the worst kind. .

Hi

I am going to be 30 next week, I been worst since 2012 I also think doctors/specialist etc have been something. I been worrying about bowel cancer etc since my Dad did his sample poop test because of his age.

Even though I go to the dentist every three months. I worried about gum disease, needing more treatment (I do hate my teeth). Two appointments with my opticians this year thought I had brain tumour, eye cancer etc.

I am getting CBT to help me.

Hey guys, sorry for the late replies. Didn't know this thread had any comments.

I am so so so SICK of hypochondria now.

I have excessive thirst and some days I am urinating more than 25 times a day, so I think I have diabetes.

I have stomach pains and think it's something like stomach cancer.

I sometimes have white flashes in my eyes at night and think I'm going to be blind in the future.

Every little thing that happens in my body, I assume the worst. Every single time. -_-

Yes, it's a debilitating condition, I've only just started with severe health anxiety. You are not alone, I know exactly where you are coming from...It's an addiction. Everything points to the worse case scenario. I know I'm being irrational. It started with having a horrible kidney infection and at the same time being changed anti depressants..took 2 weeks to recover but now because I'm having weird symptoms, sharp muscle pain, anxiety, extreme tiredness, pain in my ovary area and groin...now I'm convinced I've got ovary cancer, where does that come from.. Dr Google. The thing is it's always an attempt to reassure, but it doesn't as all the symptoms always say cancer or other serious illnesses. All the other possibilities at at the bottom of the google list. I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one going through this awful health anxiety, it ruins your life. I never used to be like this before google. Take care, rationally I know it is extremely unlikely both you and me are severely ill but the horrible irrational mind plays tricks with you :-( xx

I hate to say this but I think that's normal hypocondria or my experience anyway.
I have breathlessness at the moment, had it 6 days and it's making my life hell, making me anxious. I also dislike/hate anxiety. I know it stems from me but how on earth do you get rid of it!

You're normal ... well like us lot anyway ;)

Gosh, who here in the boards is not tired of hypochondria? lol

I am only 23 and I have been suffering HA for almost 7 years now.

There seems to be better days, but there are also those hellish days.

I can't find professional help easily from where I am but I am doing my best to get CBT in any way.

Hang in here, we are all going through this together!
