I have agoraphobia. I am not always afraid of going everywhere. But I worry and panic about going out and something bad medically happening to me and no one helping me. I also panic lots and worry something physically is wrong with me, not sure what that phobia is called. I'm really struggling. (I've been medically checked out many times very thoroughly and no one has found anything wrong, they all say it's my anxiety)...,

Maybe you're a hypochondriac. It is possible. I kind of feel like one myself.

I have a similar kind of OCD, though mixed in with germophobia.

No matter how many tests are done, there will be always a nagging feeling in mymind, and that's the true illness I think.

What has helped me is to imagine that my body, despite being chronically ill, has a will to survive. It has an immune system, which I like to imagine like an invisible barrier against all the bad scary medical stuff and germs, like a one of those force fields in science fiction. It's a protector of me and my body from sickness.

I'm afraid of men. I mean, I can be around them, but there's very few I can be around for long periods of time and actually communicate with. If I try to speak to a guy, I freeze up and feel nauseous and like I'm about to cry.
