Why??

[debstar]

Why is that when you know or hear of someone with a serious illness that you start thinking and convincing yourself that you have it too.

I am convinced at the moment that I have 3 serious illnesses. Will probably be four soon after hearing a story my Dad told me last night.

How can I stop myself from thinking this?

I know exactly wat u mean - I cant watch any docu on health etc cos sends my mind into over drive.

only way I stop myself is by avoiding and trying not to listen too much to stories and horrors people tell me.

yep so far im convinced I'm gonna have a brain haemmhorage, a heart attack and at some point suffer a epileptic fit...i learnt that you need to focus on positive things, watch positive things, listen to funny stories and so on..
