Why do I always think I've got cancer?

Media is talking a lot about diseases and that makes people worry about their health. When you hear about cancers you think you got one to but you don’t actually have one. Try to avoid these kind of topics and you will releafe.

The Internet, television, and the media are always full of stories concerning health and particularly cancer. Sometimes having something constantly being betrayed into our lives, it can create this feeling. It seems like everything today can cause cancer, so it's not a surprise that this is a question. Having routine cancer screening and check ups can help give reinsurance.

It is not unusual to think that you are very sick whenever you feel physically bad. There is a lot of talk, maybe too much, about cancer in the media so it is pretty obvious that whenever we feel sick our mind goes there. The only way to find out is to see a doctor

It sounds like you have a deep fear of having cancer, which is a perfectly rational fear to have! However, if you are actively avoiding things that have been scientifically proven to give you cancer (EG; smoking), then there is no rationality to your thinking. If you feel you have a physical condition that requires medical attention, please do speak to your GP. Do not feel you are wasting their time - they are there to help and put your mind at rest!

Anxiety can cause bad thoughts, and different types of anxiety can lead to different types of negative thinking. For example, there’s social anxiety that is about fear of social interaction, fear of being judged and etc. or there’s panic disorder: bad thoughts in panic disorder are usually around health, or the fear of being unable to escape. However, I’d recommend to visit a professional therapist.

Well, we all overthink sometimes, it's a natural human instinct to analyze everything.. Try to have perspective though, there is a big chance you do not have cancer! Try not to stress about things you do not know about :) If you are really worried, see a doctor maybe! :)

You might be scared because of a close friend or family member getting it or because of the fear that we see from the media. Cancer affects a lot of people and you could be more anxious about it because it's somethjng we see a lot.

You might think that you have cancer because it might have gone through the family and you are worried that it will happen to you.

Sometimes we feel as though we have something wrong with us, emotionally or physically. So-- sometimes we may physically think that we have cancer because mentally we are anxious or paranoid about something being wrong with us.

if you suspect you have cancer, consult a doctor.
