What Is This
Posted: 04-29-05 23:35pm

Can someone help me. Do you think I really am a hypochondriac

i almost constintly worry about myself having a health problem. And when I do I sometimes actually feel what im thinking.

I worry about the world ending alot and I always think my girlfriends cheaing on me.

Pretty much I always think the worst about everything. Ive gotten tons and tons of tests and scans and still think im dying. I worry about one thing for a while then move onto something else. Ocd,bipolar,depression,anxiety disorders and panoic atytacks run in my family

maybe I got em all :{

Having these thoughts go hand in hand with our "sympathetic nervous system" and with anxiety, when you have anxiety going on in your body you assume the worst. Investigating helps to rule out possible illnesses, but if you have anxiety a therapist, counselor, pschiatrist etc. Is the Dr. To fix it. If you give your local hospital a call they can give you a list of counseling services in your area.

Good luck and stay strong.

Sounds like obsessive thinking, which is definatly anxiety producing.

If you have seen doctor's and gotten results, you can trust the tests.

Instead of obsessing about a thought or syptom, try to pry yourself off the couch (at least that is where I feel myself sink into obsessive depressing thoughts) and go out to do something positive for yourself.
I find myself in the mountains nearly everyday, or I go trout fishing.

Take your vitamins, and eat healthy,,,think good thoughts about yourself and others around you. It feels so good to say positive things to other people....Tell someone (i tell my dog :roll: ) how beautiful they are, and how much you love feeling their energy.

Good times are coming, and don't you forget it!
