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.
im having my knee replaced on the 22nd this month. I had an appointment with the psych today - all going quite well. Once home, I saw a packet from the orthopedist that said I need additional tests and a urinalysis, my doctor and I already preformed all my tests except that! What if it comes back terrible? I can just see finding out I have kidney disease a week before surgery. My blood tests are perfect. My husband tried to work me down and I feel quilt yams terrible panicking with my kids there. I don't deserve them. I offered to stay at a crises home for a while, but my husband said no. Sometimes I wish they would just commit me.i see hope and changes, but the process is long. Please pray
You just recently replied to my post, and I want to remind you of what you said to me. The worries have a place, but don't let them take up more space than what they are worth.
As far as your kids go, you do deserve them. You deserve all the good life has to offer. Sounds like you have a supportive husband who loves you, and your kids love you.
I am sure it is a trying time for everyone involved. You don't need to be committed, you need to take some breaths, and not let the HA take over. You have enough on your plate without that.
So far, all your tests are perfect, and that is a very good sign. Shows that you are in pretty good health, despite the darn HA telling you, you might not be:)
I will keep you in my prayers. Stay positive, you can do it.
