Does it count if you always worry about your body not getting enough nutrients and therefore not being able to work properly? I swear, I'll never read another health book again!! They've made my life hell.

I'd say to get over it, give yourself a strict rule: Don't read about any diseases, health stuff etc. Just read something else instead. Or talk to your friends and laugh about the ridiculousness of it all.

My coworker is a hypochondriac, I think. Everyday something else is wrong with her, and she always has something wrong with her stomach. I think her stomach problems come from the amount of stress she brings upon herself by worrying that she has "something". A little sneeze or cough leads her to believe that she's coming down with a bad cold. Plus, she's a total germ-o-phobe. She constantly uses antibacterial wipes and gels, which is going to just destroy her immune system.
I tell ya, considering how often she washes her hands and uses the antibacterial products, she sure has a lot of "health problems".

im a hypochondriac.And i hate it.
not as much as i used to be though...when i was 13-16 all i thought about was omg..i have cancer...or some disease that i heard of.
i never got professional help for it, but i shouldve.
I still kind of am sometimes.
I also have a fear for choking in public places so i rarely eat at restaurants and sometimes i dont eat at school...i really wish i didnt get so much anxiety, but i dont know how to help it.

That's about the only thing that helps! Sometimes I get so fed up with myself thinking about my health and diseases etc., that I just don't allow myself to get near any magazine article/book regarding health and such.
Hope it helps you, too!

I am an uber hypochondriac. But its funny, because I'm always imagining there is something wrong with me and there isn't most of the time, but when there is something wrong with me, I go into complete denial. I had terrible pneumonia and status asthmaticus (an asthma attack that lasts longer then 24 hours) and I checked myself out of hospital three times because I was convinced I really wasn't all THAT ill. The doctors kept going, "but you might die" and I kept going "No, no, I'll feel fine, thanksverymuchbutbyebye"

Hah... that sounds like me, mostly because I don't want to have to deal with whatever it is.

Right now I am convinced I am going to get tetanus. :tard tard tard:

that's nothing.
I've diagnosed myself with every possible disease you can think of. It's not funny because it really stresses meout actually.
Right now I read an article in cosmos about skin cancer and I went to examine myself and found 3 suspicious moles, one that got ligther, i can barely see it, and two that are the way they always were...So I started googling about it...I hate this, I was like that ever since i was a kid I remember asking my mom, aunt, whoever <(I ate too much sugar) is something going to happen to me>
I constantly feel the need to be reassured, but I never am. I went to the doctor's so many times for the stupidest things ever...he doesn't even take me seriously anymore, I need to find a new one.. once coz my chest was hurting for more than a month. he explained to me something about ribcage muscles contracting when the person is stressed or under anxiety, as soon as he told me that and I made sure it was nothing else(like lung cancer) it stopped hurting...
and so many nights I couldn't fall asleep because I was <having cancer symptoms> so I stayed up googling...
Right now I'm really freaked out about skin cancer, I've had some bad sunburns as a kid and went about two months straight tanning in those beds two years ago...but it was only two months of my life...I never tan usually but I never use sunscreen either...

i read biomedicine laboratory science, so everytime we read about diseases i always think i have the symptoms. but then i´m too lazy to worry about them. so i guess i´m not a hypochondriac.

I had cancer when I was young so anything that feels remotely lump like and I begin to panic like hell. I hate being ill and take mad messures to avoid coming into contact with ill people but I wouldn't say I'm a hypochondriac (except maybe with the cancer thing, I've been to the doctors about a pimple on my neck and pile, both times were drop dead embarassing) but maybe slightly hypophobic (is that word, fear of being ill, not paranoid).

er the one tip though is never, never, never, NEVER use an internet diagnosis site. They are and will lead you to extreme panic. self-diagnosis is bad enough without discovering a whole bunch of new diseases you might have whenever somethings wrong with you.
