great video. I totally understand how you feel as I also suffer health anxiety. I have added you to my Health Anxiety channel. If you ever need to talk, come and join my growing community at High Anxiety, the health anxiety site and forum, where you can learn about the disorder and talk to others with the same condition. highanxiety.co.uk

here's some tips for hypochondriacs... 1) NEVER, under any circumstances, google your symptoms. You will almost always get the worst case scenario coming up first. 2) b/c you're clearly already paranoid about a disorder, go to your doctor and get a physical... then promise to never google again. 3) Hypochondria is a form of OCD. So treatments are available.

OMG! I am the same I always fear of having some type of cancer, but most likely not, since I have testicles......(fail :(

@sarahmarie20 I HAVE the exact same prob :S , I'm 20 and havent been to a gyno. I NEEEED to go. I'm having super bad pains in my both ovaries, and servix. I KNOW I have some sort of cancer down there. But like you, I'm just to scared to go and hear the bad news. Which they will tell me im normal again, like eerythign else. I know I have it, they just haven't done the right test to find it. It's so frusterating. I'm tired of going to the Emerg, and so are the doctors, they gave up on me i think.

or you will find a way to take advantage of this perception. This method may not work on you as well as it does me, so just be persistent and if it doesn't work, then you can either make up your own perception or you can talk to me. As for your hypochondria, it sounds like it is caused by your fear of death, which carries you over to paranoia and slightly obsessive behavior...ehh I don't know what else to say if you really wanna know i can give you my advice but i believe...contd.
THANK GOD I"M NO ALONE! I'm 23 years old and have manged to diagnosis myself with Overian Cancer!!! I'm currently freaking the fuck out as we speak over it.

Girl, I feel your pain!!! I actually fear that I have ovarien or cervical cancer, since I am 23 and have never been to the gynocologist!! I know I NEED to go, everyone tells me its soo bad that I never been, but I am too scared because I have a feeling I have cancer and I don't want to hear the bad news :(. You are not alone!

I think its weird that your problems with early studying and procrastinating loosely correlate with your "early warning signs of cancer" obsession. I have the same problem, the more I relax about the stupid shit, the more I take a deep breath and tell myself, "I WILL KNOW IF I HAVE SOMETHING. SO WILL MY DOCTORS" Life is too short to worry. Stay away from Google.

thank you so much! you are right, just gotta take deep breaths in and relax. I guess when I get super stressed about other things I begin to freak out about my health as well. thanks for the comment, and yes, I will be staying away from google!

About a year ago, I got drunk at a party and did something with a girl whom I know very well and for a long time. She seems to be a little bit on the sleezy side, but for the 3 years I've known her, I have no indication that she has a disease . Well, since that night, I have had this constant poking at the back of my mind that I have an STD, even though I have no symptoms of one. This is the first time I have spoken (written) about my paranoia.

hahah, yeah, I TOTALLY feel the same way as you! I dont even WANT to look @ google anymore because it scares me to death. I also had sex recently with someone that i'm pretty sure is clean AND we used protection, but in the back of my mind I am worried i have an STD even though i have no symptoms. too scared to go to the DR. though because i dont wanna hear if its actually true. dont worry, youre not alone!!
