I have the weirdest problem. Everytime I have a little sickness, I think it's huge. Like if I have a headache, i think it's a brain tumor. If I have a stomach ache I think I'm gonna hurl or that I have the flu. Yes, I know it's weird and freaky. But I need help!! i wanna stop. Please help me
Bellesono answered Thursday January 6 2005, 1:09 pm: Dear Paranoid,
My fiance has the same problem. You are just paranoid. You need to sit down and think about what hurts or how you are feeling and go from there. If your head hurts, take some tylenol. If your stomach hurts, maybe you have to go to the bathroom. You need to go over the obvious possibilities. If you really feel that something is wrong with you, then you need to consult with your doctor. I hope that you feel better. Good luck.

Anjela answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 3:26 am: Sounds like you're really paranoid. Tell your parents or an adult you trust is all I can suggest really. I think you need some counceling if you really want to stop thinking like you are.

There are medicines that can treat you, or you can go to a psychologist or psychiatrist. Just remember... you .ArE oK.

Helper1994 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 6:04 pm: Just think to yourself, "If I was REALLY sick I would know or feel it not just THINK it" and also someone would probally notice something strange about you and tell you to go to the doctor (or hospital).
GOOD LUCK! -Sarah [ Helper1994's advice column | Ask Helper1994 A Question ]

c_assi_e_x_12 answered Sunday January 2 2005, 5:51 pm: Well, you sound like a hypocondriac. It's when make small everyday sicknesses into something bigger than they are. You should talk to someone about this.

Karen answered Sunday January 2 2005, 3:57 pm: I've never heard of this problem of being paranoid of a sickness. Maybe you can try talking to a trusted adult or a councelor? Try going to the doctors. Hope I helped :)

DaysGoBy answered Sunday January 2 2005, 3:52 pm: You are probably just paranoid. But if you feel it's bad enough or is disrupts daily life you should trying talking to someone you trust about it or consider seeing a psychologist. Hope this helps some...

Christeena answered Sunday January 2 2005, 3:43 pm: Ah, I do that too! I'm always so afraid when I get headaches or pains or stuff. I freak out. Is there anything in your past that happened that might make you scared of that? I am probably scared about headaches because my aunt died of a brain tumor. But figure out if there is anything that happened in the past that might make you nervous about sorts of pains and if there isn't, maybe talk to someone about it. If there is, you've gotta tell yourself that some things are beyond your control, and what is worrying gonna do about it? Hope I could help! [ Christeena's advice column | Ask Christeena A Question ]
