News of Hypochondriasis Forum

I have not been diagnosed with hypochondriasis but damned if it doesn't describe every day of my life. (I always thought it was kinda funny to say "I think I'm a hypochondriac!")

Anyways. GOD hypochondria sucks. I have done brain cancer, throat cancer, etc. I have induced vomit because I thought something inside me was "stuck and needed to get out". I've done OCD and delusional disorder.

Hypochondriasis is hardly the sanest thing to have, ...

HI well I was just wondering if what Im going through sounds normal for hypochondria? OK well this all started when i had a health scare and thought i was going to die. But I was fine. Ever since then i started having panic attacks and then started obsessing over my health.First I thought there was something wrong with my lungs, so I had a breathing test and it was fine. Then I thought ...

I was a real Hypochondriac.

I had a major illness in every stage of my life, now that I am more than 36 years old, sometimes I really laugh about it and sometimes I want to cry that I was so miserable for nothing.

When I wans 13 I thought I had major kidney problem.

I thought this was a site where people could talk about our problems and get imput from others who suffer the same thing. I posted a thread on Nov 4, and no one has bothered responding. I've noticed that not many have responded to other threads. What is the point???

I have had problems with UTI's recently. When I take the antibiotics I obsess that my kidney infection is not going to go away. I obsess so much that my kidney hurts even after I finish the antibiotics. I have had it checked and it's ok, but I can't stop obsessing. Is this familiar to all of you?

For 2 and a half months I've feared having malignant melanoma, as I have a mole on the back of my neck! I first started fearing it when I saw something about skin cancer on the news, over the summer, since then every little thing I've felt on my neck has had my breakdown in fear and anger, any little sensation in my neck! I've researched symptoms myself, none of which I realise I've actually ...

I just to let you all know. We are all fragile people. We arent like everyone else. We are extra sensitive and perceptive. There is something special about that. :) Make sure you smile at your self everyday and say its ok you're like this.


We are always on the edge, ready to slip back into that horrible feeling something is wrong.. at any time. It feels ...

Anyone here get this ever.


You're feeling fine. Then you get a really fast onset of a symptom.
And it just snowballs really fast. You try to calm yourself down, and a half hour or less later.. you feel fine again. But cant fully carry on, because you;re afraid its going to come back any minute.


I tend to worry about what just happened. What caused that!. And I think for a long time about.. ...

I suffer from hypchondria and other anxiety problems

I am 16 years old, I constantly think negatively and always feel anxious or scared. Whenever I get a slight pain in my body I always worry about it to the extreme and therefore make it wprse with stress.

I've always felt that my hypochondria has it's roots in the death of my mother (who died when I was 10).

I remember accompanying her to the doctor when I was very young, I remember the many drugs in the cabinet and the urine samples in the refrigerator, and I painfully remember, to this day, the look in her eye when I last saw her. It was in an emergency room, when the doctors had ...
