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.

Hey fellas

So right now i have testicular cancer, a bump in my leg, high blood pressure ( never had it before, so I'm panicking). Plus I'm pretty positive i have a heart disease. All those are my imaginaries diseases. Because i dont have any clinical test that can prove them. So you can imagine how i feel. This is a mental disease and im convinced i need help. Right now i have overweight and this has increased all my problems. I have aches all over my body. What can i do? Can i cure from hypocondria?

There is no cure for Hypochondria except maybe for antidepressants (which I didn't even start taking yet). I feel exactly how you feel. I have a slight cold (I think I'm getting over it) and my mind is convinced I have Meningitis. It's such a scary feeling! Sometimes I will feel fine and think I have a hold on things and then it just turns. I would recommend just doing breathing exercises and trying to keep your mind occupied doing other things.
This is what I should be doing. I barely slept last night and I've been whining all day. Been to three doctors and none suspect Meningitis. You will be okay, just try and ease your mind.
