Hypochondria Support Group
Hypochondria refers to excessive worry about having a serious illness. Hypochondria is often characterized by fears that minor bodily symptoms may indicate a serious illness, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis, and a preoccupation with one's body. Many individuals with hypochondriasis express doubt and disbelief in the doctors' diagnosis.
good morning!
long time suffferer of hypochondria. I find myself waking up feeling fantastic. The second I get out of bed, the anxiety sets in. Physically the areas of my Jody that I focus on the most just start to hurt! It's very frustrated and makes me feel like I just want to stay in bed all day. Anyone else share my story?
I have had anxiety for the pass 7 yrs nearly and ive actually become a hypochondriac silently , its creeped on me and because i didnt do anything about it then i now dont feel as reassured like i used to.
I am super alert to any bodily sensations i have and when i am feeling it i blow it out of portion :( i am a mother of 2 boys and when im in my peek of momment i dont enjoy little things i feel like alot of the time i fail my motherly duties and i think am i selfish for constantly being or thinking somthing is wrong with me ? We are only human and believe me the only time i feel comfort in my heart is when i pray to god for help and protect my mind from all these thoughts.
I am curious to know if you would share what exactly are the symptoms you feel?
Mine over the past years have been.
Lump in throat. ( i wanted to see a ENT to reassure myself . Results all good.
Stomach discomfort.
Headache left side ( i wanted to get a ct scan done which i ran away from doing for 7 years and i won my fear i cried in the mechine like a 2 yo ( results everything looked fine thankfully.
This symtopm is the only one more often almost everyday which really gives me anxiety severly ( sensetive eye)
Gritty feeling , stingy, dryness, stabby feeling somtimes ,, only my right eye , feels like i have dust or eyelash pricking my eye feeling. feels heavy , i have been to countless optometrists and not all the same ones either , all have said dry eyes. I wanted a referal booked in to see a eye specalist for reassurance my pycoligist thinks it will be helpful with my anxiety and i pray that its all okay becasue i am breaking a sweat even thibking of being seen i lose sleep over thinking about the results or anything that they can say :(
