hi i am 20 yrs old an basically i wanna hear from a few pple who suffer frm anxiety/hypochondria to see if this is really how ur meant to feel or if there is something actually seriously wrong with me! i have seriously bad paranoia about dying and i always think each day is my last a while ago 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 bt i havent had a full blown one for over a year instead i am faced with this crippling fear every day everytime something is wrong with me or i get a bit sick im on the internet looking up the symtoms then crying cos u read abt serious stuff i get all kinds of physical things like chest pains palpations pain in my shoulder blades and back headaches shooting pains in head funny vision pains down my arms pins and needles theres loads more. Sometimes i have a period ov a few weeks an im ok then bang it comes bk again usually when i have read an article in a mag or seen something on telly bout someone being ill or something strange sometimes my head doesnt feel right like im not with it an im in this bubble an everyone is moving quickly around me sometimes i hear like buzzing in my ears. My moods flip 1 minute im ok the next i feel so depressed or sometimes i get soo worked up cos i think im going to die of some mysterious illness i just cry and cry i have been the docters over 20 times the past 6 months i have been a&e several times and no1 ever finds anything wrong i just want to be normal bt i cnt sleep very well or some nites im scared to sleep incase i dont wake up..does anyone else feel like this

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.

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 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.
