dear lord...it's been a while now.i kinda feel that the only way to overcome this is to go see a shrink...i suffer from both strong anxiety and hypochondria.last year my friend's cousin died from a very rare type of meningitis.she was a healthy 19 year old girl one day (so i've been told) and the next day she was dead.it started as a headache,she wasn't feeling so well,they have called the ambulance,but there was nothing they could do.ever since then every headache freaks me out.

Thanks you so much I am a minor (under 16) and I worry so much about my health. I think if I have a headache I have a brain tumor. It is ruining my life. I was worried that I run out breath so easy when I run, I was so worried something was wrong with my lungs. But this video really helped me it showed me that I don't want to live my life in fear. I need to loosen up on my worry. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

I am one of the worst offenders, but I do have some real physical problems, bonafide by the Dr, but realize this is ruining my life. Love, peace and blessings to all my fellow offenders.

this illness is most destructive to your family. my brother underwent heart surgery a year ago and, trust me, is making a full and positive recovery. every doctor, cardiologist and surgeon he has insisted on seeing whenever he gets an ache or pain says the same. the thing is, he doesn't even see what it is doing to my parents, particularly my mum. i am losing my mum to his worrying and starting to see him as nothing more than a selfish, deluded adult baby. i just don't know how to change things.

I am a definitely a hypochondriac. I am constantly convinced that I'm dying. Every time I can't at remember what I was about to say I've got dementia, I've been about cancer, parkinson's, right now I'm fixated on some sort of kidney problem. I'm 21 years old.
The thing is, I get over one worry then move on to the next. I realise how stupid it is not to learn from the previous scare, but I just can't help it.
It's true about google; pretty much everything is a sympton of cancer.
thank you so much for posting this. everything you said was true about me. i get a slight headache and i'm convinced i have a brain tumor!!! and searching on google made it like 100 times worse

I live in constant fear of having a heart attack or stroke. And I'm also terrified of catching rabies or coming down with meningitis.
Anxiety is a bitch.
