Why do I always exaggerate my symptoms? Lately I've been having it a bit rough. Head aches and dizziness have caused quite some concern. I wish I could accept things as they are instead of blowing them out of proportion. Just today I watched a video on a women with schizophrenia and dear god that scared me. Started saying "what if I become that way?" Then I start dwelling on the symptoms of becoming psychotic. I've gotten a few bruises from playing sports with my friends and when I get home I get worried that it's not from the sports but it could be leukemia, so of course I google the symptoms and start worrying "what if I get cancer?". It's just a pain in the a** to worry about all these things. I feel like I'm too young to have these concerns. I don't even think "I probably have cancer" or " I might be going crazy" it's just the symptoms are on the back of my mind and they can be a mood killer sometimes.
