I am always so worried about my health....It has come to the point where I dont want to go to school or study. I just want to die. Every time I open my eyes in the morning I just worry about what symptoms I might have that day. I have been having problmes with my eyes and ears recently and of course all I can think of are them. I dont know if they are serious, I am going to see a Dr. About them but I just dont know what to do in them meantime. I am just so scared and anxious all the time...I cant live a normal life...I just dont know what to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me or experience this themselves. Please help me...I really am desperate.

Thanks so much for just reading this...Any advice will be appreciated. Take care everyone.

I have similar problems, although not as severe, I too am obsessed with my health, and worry endlessly about it, every pain I get I think is something serious, I have been like this for most of my life, it seems I always have a health issue to worry about!!

Fear of Dying

I can remember my oldest daughter going through this starting when she was about 11 yrs old after she seen her grandmother die. She is now thirty and is going to school to be an rn so was so obsessed with her health and now she is entering the health field. She is still obsessed with everything health wise but she has a better understanding of things now.
