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.
I'm new to this group but have been experiencing such bad anxiety lately concerning my health and everyone's health around me. Today I went to the ER because I was experiencing some bleeding on my rectum (tmi I'm sorry). they told my my vitals are fine that it is a Hemorrhoid and there's nothing theyre concerned about. I'm sitting here at home thinking that I'm actually dying. I can't eat and that's unusual for me, I can't sleep because I keep thinking if I do I'm gonna die. I can't help but keep crying and telling my bf that I love him because I feel like we won't see each other again. Crying as I write this, feeling all alone and really scared right now.
I know I am responding late to this post, and I wish you good health and some form of ease to relax your mind at some point this new year.
I feel exactly like you with overwhelming anxiety about my health. I wish I could help you, but right now, I'm struggling to help myself. But, it's good to know there are others out there suffering like I am. I don't feel so much like I'm all alone or crazy.
