  • Now its back, I am 18 soon, and more hypochondric then before, now I feel on my forehead if I have a fever, my ass hurts lol, I am afraid of colon/rectal cancer, I look up symptoms on google. I really hate this. every pain I feel, I go to google, search for "pain in _____" then I see the google results, and it says about cancer, about that and that. I was at my diabetes doctor today and he explained things that I have and its nothing wrong, so I am a little mote calm now.

  • TO ANYONE SUFFERING WITH HYPOCHONDRIA!! i just want to tell you that i had it SEVERELy for a yearand i managed to get over it. I can honestly say i dont stress over heartatacks anymore... im going to give you guys tips on how i stoped. Whenever u find yourself obsesively thinking about ur health TELL URSELF THIS "there is nothing wrong with me . im being ridiculous. its all in my head." and quickly think about something else. DO NOT research ur symptoms online.. it will only make things wrse!!

  • i swear i do :( when i smoke too much marijuana, i have major anxiety attacks about my body, i think i stopped breathing or that im choking on puke or i am trying to puke (if i burp) and i cry and cant stop it and tonight my bones ache my legs are going numb and muscles twitching and headache and every fucking thing else i cant even lay here without looking it all up, i even drank a glass of milk (i hate milk) because i think i have low calcium, this anxiety is all new from nowhere. :(

  • This explains a lot whenever I get a minor scratch or unexplained scratch I keep asking what is this bump one time I thought I had rabies one time for like a month and thought I was.going to die had a lot of panic attacks as well I think I have an OCD too

  • me i'm 17 and i don't have a severe hypo. but i had this weird feeling in my head and i keep saying to myself it's NOTHING lol, i always tell to myself that I will go see the doctor tomorrow to make sure i have nothing

    Sometimes when i feel my leg is hot, i think i have something serious when i search in google and look at the symptoms.

  • I'm 18 and I'm a complete hypochondriac. I'm constantly searching things up in Google, which leads to another thing and another and so forth. I went skydiving on my 18th birthday for 2 reason, because I want to live and enjoy life and to prove to myself I wouldn't have a heart attack and die. Like it would magically prove to me that i'm okay. Psh. Not only do I have an expensive hobby now, I'm still a damn hypochondriac. I wish I could lock out of search engines from my computer.

  • The worst thing about our condition is that even though we know we are overreacting, we still think "but what if this time there is something wrong with me?!" Even when people feel we are overreacting we still feel so sure about our symptoms.

  • @HELLOLOVEBYE

    Yeah this is very true. I sometimes can't help myself but to search my symptoms online, and much like this video says, I usually end up seeing the worse cause (mainly cancer) and thinking I've got that. You see, most of the time I end up on Yahoo answers and everyone says "GET TO THE DOCTORS ASAP!" and that just makes me worry so much, making me think I've got something seriously wrong for someone to rush me like that.

    I need to calm myself down.

  • For anyone suffering from hypochondria which in my personal experience can lead to anxiety which leads to panic attacks... (they freak me out beyond belief) Do NOT research your symptoms online (unless it's to confirm it's ONLY anxiety) because as though researching it may start out seeming Like an easy idea which is because when you actually spend time worrying it masks your emotion and gives u a surprising sense of relief however the worrying soon becomes panic and then it is a nonstop cycle

  • I actually have hypochondria. ( I hope it's hypochondria cuz if it's not and there's always that little thing inside me telling me its not hypochondria and that it's a heart attack or cancer or brain tumor or that I am going blind) And I also have anxiety and major panic attacks. The thing about panic is that no matter how many times you say it's a false alarm to yourself, there is always the small chance it's real and serious. I'm a teenager and hopefully I'm not stuck like this forever.

  • Hypochondria has really wreacked havoc in my life from aids to heart attack to cancer..i am 28 years old and i want to get my life back in shape..I have decided to take cognitive therapy i hope all goes well.We are not alone!
