hypochondria
seriously, help me, i can't sneeze without worrying about whether i may be dying or not. i'm so scared. i was woken up by a headache tonight and now i'm crying and shaking and i'm afraid i'm going to die and i can't go back to bed. what if it's a brain tumor or something? i want to throw up, and my dad won't listen to me, so i'm just crying.
Hey. Im sorry that you are going through what you are and Im sorry I cant tell you that relate to what your going through so I could be of more help, but the way I would look at it is like this: you are where you are now aren't you? You have gone this many years with out being seriously ill from just a sneeze or a headache right? I know there are so many things that could go wrong and that's all you see right now but you can't let yourself see only the "what ifs". When I get anxious I try counting from 1 until the feeling has passed or sometimes I think of a time that I made it through the anxiety or you could even try thinking of your favorite memory or memories.
I suffer from hypochondria, too. Deep breaths, my friend. I look at it like this: Do I need to seek medical attention right now? Do I need to go to the ER? I take the steps I need to take RIGHT NOW. Most of that time, that's a deep breath. But I hear you.
