Crazy


Question Posted Friday January 5 2007, 10:22 pm

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!!

like everyone else said you could be suffering from hypochondria. however, i went through a phase where i thought every little thing meant i was going to die of some terminal disease. i got over it by not reading symptoms for other serious diseases, not reading side effects on medications, and anything else along those lines. because when i'd read them i would relate to some of the symptoms and then freak out thinking i have some serious disease and worry that i would die. however, if you really feel like something is wrong with you, and it is bothering you. then you should go to a doctor, even if in your mind you know nothing is wrong. going and hearing it from a professional might ease your mind. :)

sorry this is so long..

see the links at the bottom of that wikipedia article for tips and support. You may want to see a regular doctor or psychiatrist.
