Has anyone else on this site actually been
diagnosed with hypochondriasis (being a
hypochondriac)?

I haven't been formally diagnosed with
anything. Not panic disorder or anxiety.
All doctors I see tell me it is stress.
Funny because I don't feel like I am
under stress but I think my subconscious
keeps harping over things I should either
let go of or accept things I can't change.
By my own research, I have concluded
that it is anxiety because I have had all
the symptoms of anxiety at some point or
another. Now I am at the point where I
don't even want to get another xray or
scan because I am afraid that all that
radiation for these tests will cause
cancer. I have had several....They never
find anything so I have to accept that I
just may be healthy....

Mary, if you think like that, some time
soon you will be free from all of this
anxiety. I find it very hard to accept
that there is nothing wrong with me and
that I am perfectly healthy, simply
because of the way I feel...

no, my hair seems to be falling out on its
own...No pulling for me. Usually when I
wash my hair I get handfuls of it.
Everyones anxiety is different and shows
up differently. I get alot of cramps,
side aches, headaches, lightheaded, heart
beating fast, intense fear, shakes,
numbness, twitches...Stuff like that....
