i need help.


Question Posted Wednesday October 22 2008, 10:25 pm

16/f
i'm extremely scared to go to a clinic, and whenever i do go i always end up going by myself.
my grandmother died of cancer this year and ever since she died i developed hypochondria.
i'm so paranoid i have cancer... lol.
what should i do about my estimated hypochondria?
and my last experiences at this clinic have been extremely bad - terrible service... making me never want to go back there again.
what should i do?

I don't think you have cancer, but WenMD.com can tell you better than I can. It has a symptom checker and will tell you what's wrong with you, to a point.
Hypochondriacs are, classically, treated with placebos. That's where the doctor will prescribe you some sugar pills and tell you they'll fix what ails you.
In general, I think you should talk to someone, like a counselor, that can get to the root of WHY you are now a hypochondriac. It could be some mild mental scarring from your grandmother's death and s/he can talk you through that.
But again, I don't think you have cancer.
