hello, my name is Nick im 17 going on 18 in a month. for the last year i have gone threw hell with worry. i thought i had a brain tumor for close to a year until i have a CT scan and an MRI. i also worried about having brain anurism,MS,leukimea and many others. i am likely a hypochondriac but i did the linden menthod program as well as Panic away and i learned skills to cope. but now im worried that i might become schizophrenitic in the near fiture as it affects people in their late teens. i am so worried about it happening and how it would effect my life. i have no family history however my mom had chikenpox while she was pregnant with me, although i was born perfectly healthy i am worried theres a chance is could cause schizophrenia as iv read it could. im really really worried. i also used to smoke alot of pot and quit a year ago, a week later my anxiety showed itself. please write back
