First you have to think positively and don't bother so much about your disease and health problems. Always remember there is a god and at the end he will do every thing right. Just live in present and don't worry about what will happen in future.

I was convinced i had a brain tumour the docters say no then i thought i had a heart condition an still actually do the docters say no i have been a&e so many times its ridiculous i used to have panic attacks.

Forget about future and live in present. Everything will going to be alright.

Everybody has some health issues man, but I think you are just freaking yourself out. I understand that it is easy to get worked out, and googling symptoms is the best way to convince yourself that you have AIDS and are going to die. Just take a step back,drink a glass of water and chill da F*** out! You are all good. Life is to be lived!!!

i guess you just need to calm down everytime you experience this, life is so good, live it

Just calm down and think positive always listen to what doctor's say. and do things that makes you busy or things that makes you happy.

Sorry to disturb the post but I would like t know if my mental condition is not normal then what will be an effect on my baby if I am pregnant? If i am mentally not fit then is there any treatment given to a pregnant lady to remove the effetts on upcoming baby?

I used to convince myself of cancer as well. When I was 19 I believe I had started to believe that I had breast cancer, I found a lump in my armpit and couldn't think anything else except cancer. I cried almost every night because I knew end was near. I didn't tell anyone about it for six months but constantly had that circling my mind. I knew too little about cancer but I knew that you start to feel weak. So I even felt weak. One day I confided in my best friend and she asked me to come to the doctor. I resisted because I didn't want the world to know that I am dying, but she took me anyway. I realised I had folliculitis. That was the bump. I am 27 years old and I have my breasts safe and sound. It is mostly just our own limited imagination.
