News of Somatoform Disorders

Im 16 and have been diagnosed with BDD for about a year now. Does anyone else here thrive on compliments to make it through the day?
Anyway I was just wondering, but here's something else I wanna add. I have actually been coping the last couple of weeks moderately well than usual, and when I say that today my self-confidence shattered, who would you expect to have done this to me? The mean girl at ...

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 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.

Hello all! I just registered to this. I have not read many other threads yet, but I will get around to it momentarily. I was just so excited to see a forum with others who were suffering what I was suffering as well. I figured I'd post my story and hopefully get some responses from similar people. It would help me so much to meet others like me...

I am a 20 year old hispanic ...

I am so glad to have found this forum. I have been diagnosed with panic attacks and anxiety, which has begun to manifest itself into hypochondria. I have been spending hours on line reseaching the disease I feel I have contracted each day. I too have had a battery of tests, all negative, but still believe I am dying. At times, I almost know I am being irrational, but most of the time, I just ...
