Am I a Hypocondriac?
Posted: 09-02-05 19:08pm

Im sure my spelling is probably wrong on that but o well. Anyway I have major pannic disorder. I have pannic attacks all the time. I think I may have hypocondria. My shrink didnt diagnose it though. I always feel sick. I go to the er quite frequently because I think there might something really bad wrong with me. The doctors rarely find anything. Right now I think I am just coming out of a pannic attack. I have been dizzy all day. Now I think I might have diabetes or maybe pregnant. The past few days I have been sure that I am pregnant because I have some of the symptoms but the tests are negative so far. I feel like a freak. What is wrong with me? If I am a hypocondriac what is the treatment plan for it? Is is just theropy? Any advice would be great.

Thanks
tia

Tia, it sounds like you may be suffering from anxiety more than just being a hypo. My advice, find a good counseler. Not a psych that is going to be quick to put you on meds, though that is not a bad thing. But a counselor who can help you with relaxation and posative thinking.

Hi, i'm not sure if I can help you coz I kinda have the same issue. I'm always thinking there's sumthn wrong with me. It's not like an attention thing, it really stresses me out. I have this cramping in my left forearm and im scared it's sum kind of disease. I have eye twitches and no matter how many times the dr's say its stress, I still panic. My hair falls out, i'm always paranoid. So maybe it is just stress 4 u 2 butplz let me know if there's anything that helped you get over this.Thnx : :?
