I would look up hypochondriac, I have it not so spectacularly as you seem to, but you go a little nuts. The best thing I’ve learned to do is stop reading about illnesses and symptoms. If you don’t learn about them you won’t think you have them. Trust me I “had” brain cancer once, a spinal tumor. It’s inconvenient and I’m 17! but you will get used ot it and learn your limitations, learn not to go to certain health websites, or read newspaper articles about that kind of stuff. Relax and you’ll be fine. There’s no medication or treatment for it, you just learn to cope. Good luck.
Hey first off let me tell you that you aren’t crazy and lots of people feel like this. I personally have had some of the same fears as you. I also used to fear that I had HIV or that I was pregnant when I was still a virgin. I knew it was impossible and yet I found ways to justify that it could happen. I think you need to go see a doctor and he will help you get a handle on your anxiety. I’m not trying to be a pill pusher but medication helped me with my situation. I know a lot of people don’t like to resort to medication so you can also try seeing a psychologist which I also do. It can be a tremendous amount of help just to talk to someone and hear your problems out loud.
what you have is most likely post traumatic stress disorder and you need therapy. This is similar to what i have. I have almost died / was seriously messed up 4 times in my life. One from surgery due to a medicine they gave me that stopped my lungs from working.when i was 13. Another medicine i took for something else down the line caused such severe skin rash over my entire lower body i almost was going to have to have skin graphs and couldnt go out in public and was just traumatic this was when i was 15. Another medicine i took when i was 17 made me go blind. I was beaten severly by a man when i was 19, had to go to the e.r. I was again, raped, beaten, almost suffocated to death, almost strangled to death, had my head stomped in, and was held hostage for 3 days all while dealing with this by a man i was with. So… a year later after all this subsided.. i started getting severe panic attacks, i couldnt even take a daily vitamin without having a sever panic attack. I couldnt be home alone at night without panic attacks. I too thought EVERYTHING was wrong with me. i would get a headache and go to the e.r. thinking i was dying. I would get heart palpultations and again go to the e.r. Anything and every scan that can be done on a body ive had done.. all thanks to my panic attacks, and im perfectly normal, well inside. So until i saw someone to realize that all my crazines was the post traumatic stress disorder i had that i didnt even know i had from this.. until i talked with someone and figured it all out, it didnt start to go away. So i HIGHLY suggest you go see someone to talk to . It will probably NOT go away.. i suffered for about 5 years without knowing what was going on. It still comes and goes every now and again.. like at night, when my husband is gone and im alone, and i STILL have panic attacks when taking ANY medication.. however i FINALLY have been able to go back to taking vitamins without fear. So i wish you luck really, and im glad to know things are better with your sister.
Yes, sounds like you are struggling with anxiety – a therapist can help you with this.
[ Anxiety and Worrying is a preoccupation with past or future bad events. It is a type of thinking that makes you feel as if you were reliving a past event or living out a future one, and you cannot stop those thoughts from occurring. Such thoughts are often characterized by the phrases "If only..." and "What if..." ]
i agree with Breathee.counseling & pills will help. your sister just triggered an existing condition. its actually a common habit for doctors and psychologist think they have conditions because they look at all symptoms. you are always going to have symptoms that mean nothing. If you think you will end up like your sister surely you see the final result is healthy enough to study, not death. so you are not afraid of ending up like your sister – she’s alive. you are scared of dying. ask yourself ‘what will happen if you die’. whatever those answers are, are the things you have to talk to a counselor about
You could use what my cousin uses for his anxiety. He learned how to completely control and eliminate his anxiety attacks. Check it out- see if it’s for you.
