I think I'm going crazy because for four months now I've been thinking I'm dying from various reasons. I have a headache I'll stress over it for a week thinking its cancer. I have pain in my neck and I freak out and think I'm having a blood clot. My chest hurts I think my hearts failing. I have some bruises I cant explain I think its cancer. I have a swollen lymph node and I think its cancer. I THINK...but in my mind I KNOW I dont have anything wrong. I mean I dont get these things at the same time they come at different times. I dont know how to stop stressing myself out over this because its...taking a toll. Every day something else makes me question my life and I'm starting to FREAK OUT. Please help me out here!!
