News of Somatoform Disorders

Hello...

First, sorry my english. Im from Brazil.

This is a history that must be told.

Since 2004, i found a beautifull red hair girl on the internet, and we start to talk each other. On this 2005 Carnaval ( early february ) i travelled to her city, 340 km from here, to meet her for the first time.

It was a magical moment... I was waiting until mid night in front of the citys ...

I am 36 six years old and have been suffering from what I believe is a Health Anxiety disorder (self diagnosed hypochondriac). It started for me about 7 years ago and has plagued me ever since. I have been convinced that I have had a brain tumor, a lump in my throat, colon cancer, and heart problems, just to name a few. In each instance, I have sought help from medical professionals, Internal Medicine, ENT, ...

Hi! I have a few questions maybe this forum can help me with. Which kind of therapist do I need to talk to about my hypochondriasis? A phsychiatrist or psychologist? I am so tired of living my life this way. I am only 24 and all of my co-workers, friends and family make fun of me.

Hi everyone,

From reading posts on this forum I have begun to think that I am most likely experiencing BDD; I just thought I'd explain certain, different things that I do that I consider strange and see if they fit the profile and if others have experienced the same particular thing. Oh, and I just turned 18 and I'm male

Firstly, I look in mirrors ALL THE TIME; I've been called ugly by some guys ...

I am a 17 jear old girl and I live in Holland (and my english is not really perfect, I hope you don't mind).

Last night I saw a program about BDD on the Discovery Channel. My boyfriend is 22 jears old, and we are together for over 2 jears now. Before I came in to his life he had a relationship with a girl his age, for over 4 jears, and she never told ...

I am so glad I am not alone. It has been helpful to me to read about other people experiencing the burden of hypochondria. Personally, I am a bit of a closet hypo, because while I think I am dying of something, I don't talk about it or go to the doctor about it.

It started in my 20's after a major virus/bacteria infection. I was overwhelmed with naseau and dizziness. Then I began getting ...

Hey all:
