I suffer from a condition called Hypochondria. Wikipedia defines this as: an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness.
Cyberchondria: describes the behavior of hypochondriacs who use the Internet to gather information on health or healthcare.
This completely destroys my quality of life sometimes! I'm always scared any little ache or pain is some serious illness.
It's completely effing insane. My throat hurts, I freak. I get diarrhea, I panic. Stomach pain, anything. I'm terrified.
Mortified. I display all the typical behaviors. Panic, always looking up information, self-examination, closely scrutinizing my body for sign of illness. Even though I have no reason to be. Always scared of headaches, cause I start think it's a tumor. Don't like using my cellphone to talk because I'm scared of getting a brain tumor. I don't know what's wrong with me, I really need help with it. Like psychiatric help. I always pray to God and my Lord Jesus Christ for an end to the fear. I find peace, and then, any little thing, I'm mortified again. Ahh. . . I need to relax. I know I'm healthy. I've always been healthy. I try to eat right, exercise, I play baseball and tennis. I'm a teenager. Heck, even when I was like 9 I would freak out about me having a heart attack because my chest would hurt. I don't know, I just need to relax, know I'm okay and that I'm stressing myself out unnecessarily. Turn to God, and put ALL of my faith in him. I find peace in him, and that's all I need. Ah, I feel better.
