News of Hypochondriasis Forum

Good evening everyone I am sorry for the long paragraph but this is my first time on here: I am a 21yo male who has had pretty good health throughout his whole life (no serious issues whatsoever) but I have always had really high anxiety levels (especially in regards of health and illnesses) and a tendency to overthinking. Exactly a month ago what started as a itch on my thigh became a rash and then ...

So I’ve been reading in the news lately that we’re about to be up against a lot of superbugs/antibiotic resistant bacteria and its going to be like the 18/1900’s and a simple cut is going to kill you. Is this true? If it is true how would we stop it? Do I need to be worried about it?!? I cant stop worrying and I cant focus on anything without it in my head

I couldn’t stop focusing on my breathing, and as the days passed, whenever I breathe it feels like my heart speeds up, and songs keep ...

In the back of my mind I have suspected there might be something wrong for a while, but when a close friend suggested out of the blue last night my wife might have Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, it really got me thinking. A lot of what I have read about it since makes a lot of sense, and I have become worried she might have a very mild case of it. This morning I jotted ...

Hello all, not sure if this goes here as I think it cross links several different disorders, but anyway I just wanted to get this out.

This is my first post. I created this account to try and find some one who has possible ever heard of anyone experiencing or themselves experiencing something similar to what I have been for the last few days, which I am convinced is a perfect recipe for complete mental ...

Hi, I have a mother who my whole life has always been sick, always had a cold that is 10x worse than anything we ever had and always had, something that was always potentially killing her. And honestly it's effecting my mental state.

Hi right now I am freaking out worrying if I have a brain tumor because probably for the past 1-2 months the right side of the back of my head has felt sore and uncomfortable to rest on when I am trying to sleep or lay down. It is also mildly sore to the touch and I am so worried I am going to have a malignant brain tumor. I then googled brain tumor symptoms ...
