I was wondering what type of treatment
that there is for hypercondria. I have
looked up the symptoms and feel that I am
just that.... I have this obsession
with cancer and think everyday that I have
some form another. I have had multiple
blood tests and physical exams that seem
to be normal, but I am unable to convince
myself that I am okay. I was also
wondering if in the routine blood tests
would my family doc be able to tell
something were wrong with me? I am so
worried that this going to take over my
life and really make me ill. I have
noticed over the last few months that my
work has suffered because I am always
trying to feel areas of my body to check
aces and pains, not to mention looking
ridiculous. Please help and tell what I
need to do, take to the family doctor or
see a specialist of some sort.

Have you tried cbt? It has changed my
life dramatically more than I ever thought
anything could. If you can't afford a cbt
group pick up a copy of been there, done
that? Do this! By sam obitz and start
doing the tea form exercise in it. This
is one of the books we used in my group.
Take care and know you can get better if
you learn to think more objectively about
your symptoms through the cbt exercises.
The more you work on the exercises the
more relief you get, I am still improving
today.

I would echo this advice. Cognitive
training can get you to eliminate all your
fears if you work hard on the exercises
and the tea form exercise in the book he
mentioned by sam obitz is the one that has
helped me the most so you should give it a
try.
