How To Deal With Health Anxiety and Hypochondria
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июн 2024
- This video is long, but it’s packed full of information. Here is a breakdown. I answer the following questions:
What does hypochondria/health anxiety look like?
What’s the difference between hypochondria and generalized anxiety disorder?
How do you get hypochondria?
Why don’t pills work for hypochondria?
What does CBT for hypochondria-health anxiety look like?
What is a self-help version of CBT for hypochondria?
With hypochondriasis, you misinterpret body sensations and assume you have a serious disease, even after you’ve been told you don’t. You may believe that the doctor missed something. You may even believe the anxiety you have will turn into something more serious like dying in your sleep or having a heart attack.
In 2013, the new edition of the diagnostic and statistical manual 5th edition changed the name from hypochondriasis to somatic symptom disorder. Somatic means body. Therefore, it’s a disorder of being over focused on body symptoms and having an illness. People who have this problem, know they have it because they are in a lot of distress.
Self-talk script to use when you are triggered by a body sensation.
I have been checked out by my doctor, my new body symptoms does not mean I really have a medical illness. I have anxiety and this is what I tend to think,. Anxiety makes me believe I have something I don’t. I am not more of a medical expert than the people who have seen and examined lots of sick people. I don’t know what sick people look like, I only know what I look like. I don’t have a point of comparison to know what the illness I’m concerned about really looks like. The internet will not give me a complete picture of what it really looks like to have [fill in the blank with the illness you’re worried about.

Thankyouu
. I just found out I have a brain tumor these videos are entertaining and keep my mind off of my own problems. I want you guys to walk with me video up a out it on RUclips named (RUclips YOUNGEST GRANDMA) . SUPPORT ME GUYS PLEASE. Subscribe to my channel please love ii 😍😍
I have had ct scans mris - I’ve been over this for over three years and it’s started to creep in again - this ride is terrifying I wouldn’t wish it open anyone . Big love everyone xoxo
It is observed due to anxiety and intrusive thoughts triggering, then and then physical condition changed such as B.P increases, head full of dullness, trembling etc which are unbearable. What should I do at this juncture to avoid these unwanted situation. Your suggestions are solicited
L
who else have the symptoms only when they're alone? And not even think about them when you're having fun
Same,specially when its quiet
YES literally me
YES OH MY LORD. YES
Yup same here. I was working on my car for a few hrs and felt fine. Once i came inside the house it all started again
Yea, my parents work almost every day and I'll find myself wandering around the kitchen insanely dizzy, then I get a text and boom, disorientation be gone.
Googling symptoms is an ADDICTION and never ever ever make things better.
Yeah, don't do it! I've been there googling all the time, frantically, like a maniac. It gives you no answers and induces even more anxiety, it's a vicious cycle that's so hard to break away from. Everyone is different, every disease has multiple symptoms in multiple people, chances are close to zero you'll self-diagnose over the internet. Go see your doctor if in doubt, and remember be honest and don't be shy asking questions.
@@Icheb82 this made me feel much better, thanks :)
Yes!
@@Icheb82 thanks for advice.
Wow I do this constantly like everyday google my symptoms 😩
Anyone feels like you tell your body “No,stop, I know this is anxiety, we felt it in the past, nothing is going to happen” and your body is like. “I know that, but what if, like, what if THIS is the actual, real health problem, and not anxiety anymore”
Yes!! It's the what ifs! I swear my brain likes to play tricks on me. It's one health anxiety after another
Constantly
Yes, there is always that little evil what if in the back of your mind... smh..
Yeeeesssss
Yes… all the time… it is a matter of time before something new comes up and gets me to the low point I was before… it is really exhausting and depressing.
And my bigger fear with this kind of anxiety is that one day i might ACTUALLY have some health issue and ignoring it, saying it’s just my anxiety again….
This is how I feel. I worry that I will just start dismissing everything as anxiety and there's really going to be something wrong. Because obviously, all of these things I fear, people do in fact have. 😞
Well, I had this happen. I ignored my symptoms as my doctor said that they were only anxiety for 2 years. And even now I have problems of gaslighting myself to believe that symptoms are only anxiety. Unfortunately they are not. And because of past anxiety/hypochondriac label I am not heard by the doctor. Yet.
So perhaps, write down your symptoms and then forget all about it! Come back to it a month later and see if you still have it and if it is affecting your life in any way. And keep doing this to all of your symptoms. If nothing else, you have then been tracking your symptoms for some time and have better picture if they are something to be concerned about.
And it is kind of similar thing than writing a shopping list etc. When you write it down, you won't forget it and do not need to keep thinking about it constantly.
And real symptoms...you are hard pressed to ignore them anyway. Those symptoms make themselves known!
True and what I am doing is annual physical exam. This gives me assurance that what i am dealing is health anxiety.
Hope you are feeling a little better
Yessss me too!!
the issue ive got is that I am not afraid of stuff like cancer or long term disease happening, my health anxiety is only connected to heart issues. I am afraid I am having a heart attack or arythmia or a stroke, for that I cannot come back a month later and I am so afraid I will actually miss actual heart attack one day@@SatumainenOlento
I started tearing up when you said how exhausting it is to live this way. I'm so tired of feeling like this.
Same...
Me too. The longer we endure our individual struggles, the more resilient we become 🖤🖤🖤
Me too ,its so exhausting 😪
Same here . I feel better now knowing I’m not the only one but it’s gotten to the point where everyday it’s me worrying about some new pain . Heart attacks , brain cancer , lung problems the list goes on . It’s so exhausting and I just wanna feel normal again
Same it's really frustrating 🥺
Anybody else feel emotional because you realize this has been dominating your life for so long :(
I have suffered for 20 years and just now am realizing that it’s been hypochondria the entire time
How to cure this... 😢
Yes I was listening to this video in the shower and I cried when she mentioned that anxiety is hard on the body because this is so true. I feel a bit better now.
Yup
Mel Domanski yes.... I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t want to be here anymore..
Honestly a huge thing is seeing cancer all over the internet, on tiktok instagram, everywhere its about getting chemo, or cancer awarness. It's gotten to the point for me where im constantly stressed about having cancer, even with no symptoms. Even just the word cancer is kind of triggering to me.
Same, I just wanna delete tik tok
Then do it! Do not watch. I gave up watching the tv news All negative.
I relate😭
Can't relate more 😭 it's so exhausting
oh my god i relate to this so much
She literally just explained what I got through every single day
☝ got you covered 🍄
Same 😢
she explained it better then I, a person who goes through this daily, could ever do
@@greeneyedlady7 same here. Matched 100% whatever she says. 90% of time I think about my unknown health issue, which is killing me. I called 911 once and went to emergency 3 times. No matter what doctors say I don't get satisfied. Maybe I will but just short period of time.
I hate living with health anxiety. I overthink too much about my health.
Vega Vein I’m only 19 and my dad told me my family has a history of prostate cancer. That same day I got worried about it looked up symptoms and my body started performing the very same symptoms like struggling to pee or peeing in bursts. I’ve never had symptoms that are frequent enough to call it a problem but my mind likes to think up all the times I’ve gotten up to pee at night and all the times I have had trouble getting it out. This is what happens when you want to be healthy as much as you can. You start making things up, the mind is very powerful and we all need to understand that the doctors spend years studying this stuff. You do not know more than your doctor and the symptoms are not serious at all. Especially when you are young eat healthy and work out.
Me too
@@leroythompson5326 we need to fight against this anxiety. Have a good day

I need one too please. Real bad.
ok
This is the hardest thing to deal with! Praying for the health and safety for everyone dealing with this.
God bless u brother, I'm a Virgin, I've never been with anyone either man or woman, I'm 26 yrs old and yet I heard on TV that u can get hiv from a barber, since then I've been on health anxiety, it's suffocating me,
@@kevinabuuh4570 I'm a barber and the HIV thing that you mention does happen but is really rare! So we normally do everything to keep that from cutting and sometimes will stop the service if anything like that is even possible like if we see a cut or we gave ourselves cuts. Normally what we would do if we see that is stop and immediately take care of the bleeding so that we don't swap blood or anything else like that. Don't worry at all about that cause most barbers I know take that seriously and will do whatever it takes to keep the both of us safe. Not saying its impossible to happen because obviously it does and thats why they teach us this but most barbers and cosmetologist will take these measures to help and keep both the client and themselves safe! Hope this has helped that fear, its really rare that it happens I promise!
hey how have you been since thaen ?
It is so saddening and reassuring at the same, to see that I am not alone. Tired of diagnosing myself with all extreme illnesses but it’s so difficult to stop. Sometimes I am able to convince myself that it is just anxiety, other times it blow up the roof and I feel so difficult to breathe.
My heart goes out to everyone who is suffering from this!
Mines always blood clots I diagnose myself with or heart attack and brain tumor it sucks and makes you not enjoy life.
Here here!
who is like "im fine" and then "wait, what if it actually turns about to be what i think it is this time"
Me
That's it: THE POSSIBILITY. That's what torture us.
All the time
All the time, sometimes I even feel guilty for thinking I'm fine because I'm scared to find out I have a serious problem
me right now :(
Does anyone else feel like if they ignore a fake symptom it will actually turn out to be something and then by the time you get it checked it'll be to late
omg yessssss, i dont k ow what to do. if im going to tell or am i just being paranoid but also paranoid because it maybe true but I its already too late
Yes. I hate that I can’t seem to trust my instincts sometimes. I have been telling myself that unless I’m actively dying, that whatever it is will either get better (problem solved) or worse, at which point I will allow myself to get it checked out. So far, everything has gotten better. And somehow that works in my mind because I have made a decision, so I don’t worry as much because I know I’m not going to act right then.
I just want to get all the scans just to be sure nothing is wrong. Then again I probably wouldn't believe them if they told me nothing was wrong.
Yes all the time 😓
Stephanie Alvarez this is exactly how I feel. Glad I’m not the only one
It’s so weird I was having really bad anxiety thinking acid reflux was a heart attack the other day. But when I met my dad at a restaurant for dinner, I felt absolutely fine the whole time, until I got home then started feeling it again that night. The distraction takes it away but I can’t seem to get that distracted on my own at home, these videos help but other than that I’m right back at it. Exhausting 😔
Yes I understand!! Awful.
That's why daily habits and distractions are imperative for handling anxiety. Being productive and living your life as normal will give you reassurance that the condition and symptoms still aren't incapacitating you from tackling goals. Start with one step at a time, until your daily schedule is a bit too full for you to worry about your health 24/7. Anxiety symptoms will always be there, but just knowing that you still have power over them is extremely empowering when it comes to dealing with them.
Breathing exercises also help a lot
So for 2-3 weeks now, I have chest tightness in the left, some times associated with shortness of breath, and feeling like have to focus more on vision, sore eyes, I have no other pain or any and my tightness in chest resolves by doing exercises for relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, but when I eat spicy food the tightness in chest gets worst the next day, any suggestions to cure, also this all started the day I took too much stress and googled my symptoms and get very much depressed, till now it's happening I am only 19
Ive cancelled vacations, plans with friends / bf because of this… Im so over feeling like this everyday, its no way to live…praying for everyone suffering from this 🙏🏻 hope we get through this 💜
It’s EXTREMELY HARD TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!
Everyday, Every minute, and every hour is a struggle!!!!
I hope and pray God delivers us from this!!!!
Long walks , cold shower , meditation , yoga and deep breathing can help you .. also get a blood test and blood pressure done if doctor says ur healthy believe it
U have social anxiety disorder too don't worry , practice cpt, regular breathing exercises, mindfullness techniques, sleep at least 8 hours, use temporary medications that improve serotonin in your brain 🫰
Who else watched this video with hypochondria and felt better right after
I'm glad Mason. I saw some earlier comments from others who said the same thing.
For now 😂 until I feel something weird again. Then I’ll be back rewatching it. Ugh I hate this.
Same here 😅
really really really really me
Me! I've saved it in its own file to watch whenever I need!
Does anyone else feel worse at night? I wake up feeling happier and more positive in the morning and as the day goes on my health anxiety just creeps back when there is something happening with my body. And at night I just feel gloomy.
once 10pm hits my brain decides to tell me I have deadly cancer even with no symptoms
It’s exactly the same for me
@@toyah6459 me too..

Thank you. I’m a 33 year old man & I feel like I’m insane. I’m exhausted & scared all of the time & you hit the nail on the head for how I feel & how irrational I Get. When I’m going through it & I’m alone at home I’ll take myself to a public place incase I collapse that way people can help. Everything scares me. Hopefully myself & everybody who goes through this can get past it.
I’m 38 and have been dealing with this for so many years. I’ve yet to find a therapist who seems to help me. My latest scare is that I have breast cancer. I’m so tired of being trapped in my own thoughts. I try and stay positive and think rationally, but I always go back to ruminating thoughts. You are not alone I assure you 💜
I have done the same. But now I've been doing a lot of praying and engaging in mindful thinking. These have helped me greatly.
I have anxiety 😢 now
34 and scared to live alone for this reason. Was really hoping I would grow out of it. Sadly I think it gets worse with age 😭.
I’m fighting anxiety for about 20 years!! I went to doctors and they gave me tablets and I couldn’t take them because of fear side effects ! I’m still fighting with this anxiety! Please help what to do to get away from from this disease out of taking tablets, do you think this tablets are safe to take them please!!
I come back to this video every time my health anxiety gets real bad… like currently. I cannot thank you enough for this video, I relate to every statement you make and it assures me. I’ve had multiple scans and seen various heart specialists that tell me I’m fine but I always seem to think something is wrong. My anxiety is bad and it destroys me daily. Thanks for this video
I’m crying. I’m exhausted. My life has been taken over by health anxiety. Everyday I swear I’m having a heart attack or stroke. I’m afraid to die, I’m afraid to live.
The, "I'm afraid to die, I'm afraid to live," thing at the end is without a doubt the most relatable thing I've ever heard in my life.
This is so relatable. I can be fine for a second but start thinking I’m gonna have a stroke and suddenly get vision problems and my arm goes weak.
Ur not alone my we will pull through..let's keep praying
Ok I'm jus coming off chlonazapam and respidrone..I just took vitamin d3 will tht affect me ...omggg
Sending you loads of love ❤️❤️
Your body starts making up symptoms to match a disease process that you are worrying about.
Arya Stark what if am afraid of psychosic will it make sympthoms too
@@brokendougllama4621 When i withdrawed from Bensos i were so scared to become psychotic, because i were hallucinating and not getting any sleep. And when i were overthinking it, it made the hallucinations worse. So yeah, i guess thats kind of a thing. But if youre completely normal, i really dont think you can THINK yourself into a psychosis. But you could worsen it if you already have it. And btw im no doctor so dont take my words for granted, dont take a doctors word for granted either.
Arne i am afraid of it rigth now cuz am going throug something called depersonalization 😩
@@brokendougllama4621 Ahh i see. Ive had Depersonalization for over 10 years, and im telling you, youre are NOT going insane. Thats a natural reaction from too much stress and anxiety, and not psychosis.
Arne thank you that helped little bit 😁 what were your sympthoms
I am driving MYSELF crazy. I literally feel i can’t breathe all day cause anxiety is taking over. This video helps calm me down
"so you google 'chest burning' for the 100th time, and then you find someone on reddit who says that their uncle complained of chest burning just before he went to bed, then he died in his sleep"
Dang, you didn't have to call me out like that. This is 100% me.
Me too 😆
I finally went to the doctor because I was convinced I was having kidney disease, they were like um it seems like a strained back muscle, your urine looks perfect, here's some muscle relaxers. The pain left after I took a muscle relaxer 🙄

My brain to my body :” ok buddy which cancer are we gonna have today”
Haha, yes true. At the moment I have oesophagus cancer. Just had pancreas cancer a few days ago. What's yours?
Alexis P. This month it’s leukemia
@@maxamillion6621 Ah, I haven't had that one for a while. I had it two years ago, that's what decided my doctor to put me on Sertraline!
I saw a video of a girl saying she has throat cancer and immediately I realized I had a mild throat pain hat wasn't going away. I was 100% convinced I had throat cancer (I had a tonsil stone) for two weeks.
My brain: "ok, so today we have brain cancer and colon cancer, like for the past 3 years"
jesus it took 20 years to hear the right person say what your saying, ty so much
True
Hit the nail right on the head. I've had anxiety over my blood pressure. Even though it has been fairly in control sometimes my anxiety kicks in and I'm afraid to check it yet afraid to not know. Sometimes these attacks are so bad I've went to the ER. Our minds are very strong. I hope everyone that suffers from this finds relief because it is no joke and can drive a person nuts.
Me too
I used to be heavily addicted to googling symptoms in june 2021 and after that month ended I completely stopped googling them and I felt amazing up until this month where I kind of began googling but not as much, trust me if you don’t google for about 5 days you will feel way better
Omg.. this is me! 100%
hey what tips that you would suggest ?
Omgosh, same!
I don't have high BP but I keep a check on it b/c I have white coat syndrome just the cuff going on in the Dr.'s is enough to spike it
I pray everybody here including myself overcomes this and any other troubles we're having
Thank you so much friend❤️
Amen!
Amen 🙏
I pray we all overcone
Right? I'm always thinking "today will be my last day on Earth"....wtf?!?! Imagine how 90+ year-olds must feel everyday. They must have OVER! THE! TOP! Hypochondriasis!
Amen
Pandemic increased my health anxiety. Staying home all day alone, always thinking about my health
This 100%
I’ve been doing the same thing I sat on the couch for like 3 hours paying attention to my body and what’s going on thinking about symptoms and why’s this feel this way and what not until I finally caught myself watched some anxiety relief video and everything felt better immediately
Same . I try to find comedy to listen to or motivational speeches in worry and anxiety
True true
Same
Somehow seeing 788k views made me feel better. I know I'm not one in this battle. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
I have severe anxiety, I’m 22, every time I feel like something’s wrong I go down a rabbit hole of google searches. So far I have convinced myself I have a Brain tumor, MS, ALS, and many others. It’s so nice to see I’m not the only one who deals with this, hope everyone who suffers with this can figure things out, I’m still working on it. Dr. Tracer thank you so much for this video, you have brought some relative to peace to my mind.
Same, dude i thought that i had a brain tumor, untill i got an mri done. The reports came back clear, so now i have convinced myself i have ms even though my mri came back good.
@@sworthyboy same here. I had MRI of the brain and came back clear so I thought maybe I have lesions in the spinal cord. But I know that this causes different symptoms, it’s usually in progressive MS and older people. Brain MRI should have reassured me but here I am. It’s ridiculous.
@@sworthyboyI got really sick the second time I got Covid and later got post Covid. I started feeling tingling and numbness in my right leg and arm. I did think much of it but decided to go see a doctor. The doctor who wasn’t the smoothest so to speak told me cold turkey it could be symptoms of MS. My whole world came crashing down. I had an MRI on both brain and spine with that contrast liquid. I had to wait 3 months for my results due to the high pressure on the healthcare system during the pandemic. I was a complete mess during those months with constant stress and anxiety. I was constantly monitoring my body. Every tingle, numbness, spasms or twitching was confirmation to me that I had MS. The results came and I was fine. They could not see a single thing wrong with me. They even told me that my brain looked better than it should due to my age (I was 35 at the time). They usually see some age related changes on the gray matter but I had very little. This was almost two years ago and even though I have papers telling me I’m completely fine I still monitor my body constantly actively trying to find something wrong. Those three anxiety filled months waiting for what I thought was basically a death sentence reprogrammed my brain and I can’t correct it.
I swear, google will be the death of me. I spend hours researching symptoms of different cancers and fatal illnesses.
Me too, it’s horrible. Coronavirus got me into this health anxiety pickle.
I try not to search symptoms, just keep you're self busy spend time with you're family youre not alone 😊
I spend days. :( Everyfucken time I compare myself to the pictures presented on google. I went to 2 dermatologist already but not yet satisfied.
ladyviva I never had any issues with health anxiety before lockdown started. I don’t think I’ve gone two days since March where I haven’t body checked or looked up “symptoms”. You’re not alone!
Omg this comment hit home.
It's so damaging. I don't want to live other 50-60 years with my mind stuck like this
I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way.
Hang in there now I'm 51...its consuming but I realize that I am creating this which is just as bad...for me therapy and support meetings help me but it always there. I'm used to it and I sometimes talk to it and let it visit but move it fwd. I also am used to journaling my feelings...takes some digging...the trauma pain grief anxiety is in there...gets murky but I have to keep pointing at that not my physical health
@@krisscanlon4051 I am constantly checking my body for lumps, had the doctors check my testicles several times for cancer (too much information lol) but they say I'm fine.
Any advice on how to help this cycle? I'm 28, have a 3 year old so I dont want to be like this for the rest of my days.
Right. Exactly what I’m thinking :(
ME TOO OH MY GOODNESS
In the last 3 years, I've had stomach cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer. Now im moving onto the more nuerological stuff. Als, ms, whatever else has me twitching on the daily.
I’m 19 and through the months of August-December I’ve diagnosed myself with a brain tumor, 7 heart attacks, collapsed lungs, and every form of nerve damage. I’m perfectly fine but there is always a voice in the back of my head telling me I’m not. It’s extremely difficult to live with. Luckily, my manager at work is the easiest person to talk to and I’ve been able to actually open up to her about it and she’s talked me through it a lot and is always there and listening. Honestly if it wasn’t for her I’d probably be mentally insane right now with how bad my anxiety was getting.
Homie, I am in the exact spot you were in the time of this comment 2 years ago right now. 19 years old with severe health anxiety. It's so horrible
Most the people watching this are having an anxiety attack or panic attack right now..
Nichols Martinez exactly. 😔
Nichols Martinez omg ! How’d you know?
art ganiela because i was having a panic attack when I watched it 😢
I am. Legs are internally shaking, face hot and ears hurt. Can’t breathe. Fun times 😂
Larry Opdycke I’m alive eating lays potato chips hahaha thanks for checking in
It fucking sucks because I actually remember so vividly when I didn’t feel like this
I do the same thing. I'm like I want to go back to the months I was okay. Why am i overthinkimh 😩
Wow same. I’m always saying I wish I could go back to how I was months ago.
Same bro, I keep thinking about the times when I didn’t have this shit
This...
I had too much caffeine one day, had a panic attack because of it that I thought was a heart attack, and boom. Now every time my body does anything I'm convinced that I'm either having a heart attack, have a blood clot, or am suffocating. Despite the fact that I'm a 22y who isn't overweight, exercises daily, eats healthy, barely drinks and doesn't smoke. On top of that, multiple doctor have told me I'm fine.
I can't afford CBT because I'm unemployed, but covid has made employment in my field a pipe dream. I just wish I could go back to 13 months ago before I had that first panic attack.
For 22 years of my life I was "normal". Than everything changed when I had that first attack. Its been so long i kind of forgot how I used to feel back than. All I remember is that life was good with only little everyday worries. Now everyday I suffer with pain and all the stress that comes with it. I've lost count of how many different symptoms I had. This is a never ending cycle of suffering!
I love this video and the comments. It’s nice to be validated with someone that from the outside seems like we’re being over dramatic or want attention. Health anxiety has been ruining my life for the past 2 years and Im so ready for relief. This helped so much ❤️
It is reassuring to see other normal people struggling with this
Cried all the way through this... Its so true and really hits home. I'm a teenager who suffers with this so thank you 💕
hey you get any tips that would help with this ?
Hopefully you’re much better now 😊
No one could've explained anxiety better than this...
Thanks a lot Roman!

I was researching common types of cancers before remembering that hypochondria is a thing, and this video hit way too close to home. I have been diagnosed with ADHD about 2 years ago and things started to make sense. My dad passed away that year. A year or so later for some reason I started really paying attention to my body and I would get a sore chest sensation or my heart would race so I would stress about that and my heart would race even more. I started researching for lung diseases and found pneumonia that says you get a burning sensation in your chest and I swear that very instant my chest started to heat up and I rushed to my closest family to take me to the hospital. Turns out I had bronchitis in my oesophagus. They did an EKG and said everything looks fine but I started getting the idea that my heart is faulty, that it will suddenly stop beating in my sleep. I would obsessively check my heart rate all the time and get anxious if I don't physically feel my heart in my chest.
It's been months later and I still feel like there's something wrong with my chest or heart. I don't get it, I've never had this type of anxiety before. But it's exhausting
As a fellow sufferer, all I can say is that somehow you have to find the mental fortitude to not Google anything. I don't let myself google a single symptom. And you need to learn things that tell you that you're having a panic attack, like your neck tingling or maybe your hand will twitch or something. I'm still trying to free myself from this illness but these things have helped me. Googling symptoms will only make you feel worse, and the doctor doesn't want you to google things because then they have to explain the illness you think you have and why you don't have it. There's a reason why they're the doctor and not you! You can't meaningfully interpret the information you will find. I would also recommend yoga because it's about feeling your body and calming down. That way you can learn to feel physical sensations without panicking.
I hear you on google. I've learned to not do it. But it doesn't help the rent that it is taking up in my mind 24/7.
@@TheBongorock no, but it doesn't make it any worse at least for me. It gets so much worse if I Google symptoms
I'm actually amazed that I'm not alone with this problem
AJ 15 i am the same, it’s so scary
I thought I just was having severe anxiety attacks. I’m surprised it’s a whole thing.
Me too AJ!!! That lessens the anxiety to know I’m not alone in feeling this way. My ex husband was horrible at just “being” there for me. He made my anxiety worse by using an unkind tone and saying “there’s nothing wrong w you. It’s just anxiety. Take a pill.” Very dismissive and I find, for me, dismissiveness makes the anxiety worse!
Im glad im not alone but i wish nobody would go through this.

Me too dude :(
❤️❤️ youre not alone
me too this anxiety is so frustrating
Me too :(
😭😭..I thought I was alone too. Mine is getting worse day by day
The comments and the video helped me so much. I’m 20 years old and I have been dealing with hypochondria fot the past 6 months. Sometimes I feel like it goes away and I feel better and I laugh about how stressed I was. But when I start to feel some kind of headaches or heartaches, the overthinking starts again. I realize that it is my health anxiety, but at that moment I stress about it so much that I can’t control it. I have been feeling dizzy for the past 4 days, today I’m going to get it checked out.
Obviously I looked on the internet, but that was not a good idea. It made me more scared. We are all healthy and we will live a long and healthy life.
It is all in our heads, we are going to be okay☺️
I liked her part about the heart
I hate my life because of my health anxiety. It’s like a different physical symptom every single day. I feel like the people around me are starting to get annoyed with me but I have to talk about things I think are happening or I will have so much panic built up. I’ve been called a hypochondriac (by my mom) since I was 12 and I’m 34 now and my husband pretty much says the same thing. I’ve gone as far as getting a MRI brain scan, endoscopy, colonoscopy…. Everything has been fine so far yet here I am waking up every day feeling like I am having a heart attack because my panic is so bad.
I hope you find reassurance in knowing you’re not alone. My siblings and I are all hypochondriac. My heart breaks for my younger sister, though, because she’s always so stressed and anxious over her health that she loses rest because of how much she overthinks it. She visited the doctor recently and had all her blood test results come back completely normal- in fact, the doctor reassured her by explaining how her test results show how perfectly healthy she is- yet she still can’t stop worrying.
My newest self-diagnosed health concern is mild hearing loss :) a few days ago, my ears felt muffled and my hearing wasn’t clear/optimal. I started panicking of course, and suspected a tumour in my eustachian canal (to be honest I don’t even know if it’s possible to grow a tumour over there).
Now I’m suspecting impacted earwax getting in the way of hearing, with a small pimple on my external ear as evidence to the fact that earwax is the culprit.
Absolutely irrational and insensible, yet I can’t stop worrying, too.
You’re not alone, we’re both going to be alright
When I hear someone passing away because of ailment I automatically imagine myself in the same situation😢
That is precisely what I feel most of the time
I start to google their cause of death and search for the symptoms within myself. I’ve been like this for several years but it’s been really bad the last few months. I get tension headaches everyday and I’m always thinking the worst. This is a horrible way to live.
Omg same😅
Same, its terrible.
So true!!! Feels that I might be next. Then Panic sets in
Seeing so many comments of people going through the same stuff as me is actually really helpful.
I agree. It's so relieving to not feel alone
Stay strong Ellie , we’re all in this together .
We can get through this guys
Yeah
Me also
I went through this for a while. I’m experiencing this again and it’s agony. I just want my life back. 😢
I've had disabling health anxiety my entire life. I suspect it's because when I often WAS truly sick as a teen, my parents wouldn't believe me and I'd end up in the hospital so sick I had to have immediate care. As an adult, I've had doctors dismiss me because of my anxiety disorder, and they actually did miss a stomach illness I'm now on meds for the rest of my life for. So I feel like it's extremely hard for me to beat this health anxiety I have, because I have a lot of proof in my past that I wasn't believed, and I got seriously ill. I've also had bad reactions to medications, so every time I get prescribed a new one, I research for hours all the serious side effects and think 'what if they don't believe me like last time?' It's exhausting. I've spent nights having panic attacks for hours that leave me dizzy and with tension pain the next day. I sometimes shake so hard I just freeze up. I also have emetophobia something horrible. I'll isolated at home alone in bed if I feel too nauseated. I'm 34 now. My life has been miserable and others get so annoyed with me, and it's gotten to where now now one ever believes a word I say about my health. It's ruined my life. I havea therapist and psychiatrist, I've taken DBT and done some CBT work, nothing is working.
I’m so sorry. I too had actual medical conditions dismissed as a kid and adult which makes me think doctors don’t really know everything and can’t really be trusted. If I trusted their judgement, and they took the time to explain why the symptoms weren’t “X”, then my anxiety would be much less.
This hypochondria is killing me... every day I feel like I will die soon
I feel the same from years😥
1 year ago I got a scratch from cat, now I am thinking I have rabies even though that cat is just fine till now.
Sem here I wonder how can I die without kids or how will my family feel if I die
Me too.
Same
It’s a big relief to watch this and read comments and know I am not alone.
I know right...
it feels so good to hear someone explain everything i’ve been feeling
I always get this feeling of “I know I have really bad anxiety but what it this time I’m having a heart attack instead of anxiety” then I go through my family history in my head to reassure myself that cancer and heart problems don’t run in my family. Then I think “what if I’m the first” it’s an endless exhausting cycle.
oh my god.. You literally just explained me😭😭i think about my family history literally almost everyday when im anxious and think the same shit. This is crazy😂so im glad im not weird
The fun one is when you look up a Symptom and get ‘It’s usually harmless but occasionally it can be a sign of -insert serious illness here-‘ and my brain always goes ‘Whelp must be the serious thing’.
Then I start feeling the other symptoms
Its sooo frustrating
Yes yes yes yes
Exactly and you can’t stop thinking about it 😭
Then you try to match symptoms
The weird thing is that I NEVER put these fears on other people. I expect everyone around me to live a long and relatively healthy life but when it comes to myself, I expect to die tomorrow. 🙄
Omg. So me
Same
I'm the same. Super anxious inside. But nobody would know. Even my hubby doesn't know how terrible I feel right now.
Same
It’s gonna be ok! I had health anxiety and I’ve recovered after about 3 months and am doing well! God bless you, And hope you recover
So crazy how spot on this is. I struggle so much! It glad to see I’m not the only who deals with it. I never realize how many others are going through the same thing I am..
Thank you for this. I'm so unbelievably tired of feeling this way all the time. I'm almost 26 now and it's been controlling me for the last 7 years easy. I hope I can eventually stop worrying.
In the comments to re-assure young people. My health anxiety started in my late teens, I am 40 now and have survived all the fatal illnesses I thought I had over the past 20+ years. This is a horrible life stealing condition and it breaks my heart to see so many people here in the comments suffering.
Please visit a psychologist it will help you...I am going to start my first session from this monday....since last month I m dealing with health anxiety...now I have fear of everything..even pooping also..I know sounds funny bt it's true...everyday my body create new symptoms....this corona thing sucks
I hope you are feeling better! Thank you for encouraging us young people!
@@Vlogsforlife813 please talk to me
Hyy please talk to me
I myself have a pretty terrible immune system because I get sick with minor illnesses constantly, like twice a month. And it has really made my anxiety worse. I caught Covid one 2021 and i was bedridden even with my young age. My father also got pneumonia and he nearly passed away, so that also affected me. Ever since, I’ve been convinced that every quivering breathe and chest pain is my lungs failing me.
It’s so tiring staying up at night worrying that I’ll just stop breathing if I sleep.
I'm only 23 and I've diagnosed myself with brain cancer, bacterial meningitis, heart failure, just to name a few. SO glad I found this channel.
Same
I’m fine for a couple days then something happens like headache or dizziness or brain fog and I know it’s all anxiety but that what if gets me
I was 26 when it started and in these two years and diagnosed myself with every type of cancer, literally every single one. I now surf between recovering and falling again but am a lot better. I hope we all find peace in our wild minds.
Saame
I’m 20 and I apparently am in the midst of a heart attack, stroke and might drop dead at any moment due to those illnesses so I feel your pain
This is exactly everything on this video that I struggle with everyday! Now that I see everyone else struggling the same way I do I feel so so so much better. Thank you for talking about this! I am now reassured ❤️🥺
This is speaking to my life word for word, I’ve been dealing with this for 20 years, it’s seriously THE WORST, it’s sooooo mentally exhausting 😱
This is ruining my life. I stay up all night searching and my mom just tells me to stay offline but it's so hard
MVIIOS same here... i started googling symptoms and all my family makes sure im not googling
@@teddylovee264 😔 I thought I had a brain aneurysm and the other day and went to the emergency room. They told me it was tension headaches and I got prescribed to medication.. but getting there was so horrible because everyone thought I was making it up to get attention
MVIIOS every body is diferent... we all have different symptoms and some of us are more sensitive to others. I am very sensitive when it comes to symptoms i feel EVERYTHING , and i also freak out because i havent been diagnosed yet. I thought i had every illness out there... ive been getting alot of testing this month since ive been going to the ER alot ... physicians dont seem to do much except to refer you to specialists which that can sometimes take long
@@teddylovee264 yes. I keep trying to diagnose myself through the internet. And I keep going back to the hospital all the time. I thought I had cancer, brain tumors, HIV, skin cancer and so much more. Idek how I got like this.. I used to be okay.
MVIIOS what is something scary youve felt? Ive had scary symptoms.... i wanna cry rn im getting anxiety to just remember and im still getting all that
I literally could not stop crying watching this. its so consuming, life ruining, I want nothing more just this thoughts to go away
Me too, right now my throat feels weird and I feel like I might have throat cancer or something. Or sometimes when I see flashing lights or something, I feel like I’m gonna have a seizure, when I’ve never been diagnosed with epilepsy or anything like that. It’s so draining, and it only happens at night. I hate it so much, it’s so bad...
same. I hate living like this. being at home triggers health anxiety af. when all this pandemic is over we can socialize and hope life will be better
Same here Ik Jesus got us 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Ik we will overcome this 😭😩😩
me too, my friend.
Same here 😢
my cousin passed away young like 2 weeks ago from a seizure & heart issues and now i'm literally so scared. i started experiencing symptoms like last week where i would start trembling, got palpitations, irregular heartbeat, tight feeling in the arm, shortness of breath, back pain, jaw pain, etc. i went to the ER like 3x and they told me nothing is wrong with me, it's prob just anxiety. i'm literally sitting here typing this with a heart monitor just to double check everything. am so convinced i have sleep apnea or some brain damage (even though i probably do not). i literally have an appointment scheduled with literally every doctor you can think of for reassurance & if nothing is wrong overall, i plan on getting help for this awful anxiety. you are not alone, i know it SUCKS but we gotta get our lives back
Thank you so much for this. Your attitude and realness really had me laughing at myself! I’ve been in and out of hospitals for the past two years, one week it’s killer asthma the next it’s heart failure. I got to a point where I was just straight up scared to live. I find relief in videos like this bc I don’t have access to professional help at this time in my life, so just thank you truly for this.
who here is scared to go the doctor because you worry that they will really find something???
Me ! & I have an appointment soon. I hate it here.
I leave my doctor each time with great news I am fine fine fine And im over 50 now Life gos on and take care your health get sugar and booze out your diet your health will stay good
im in the middle, i want to go to the doctor so bad to tell me my problems and illness i may be in risk for but at the same time im scared they'll actually diagnose me with something and ill go home worrying about every single detail i feel 😭
@@simplycity8488 😭😭😭😭😭😭
literally me
almost cried when i watch this vid ....feels like you are talking about me ...Hypochondria takes my happiness from me...i can't work properly,can't enjoy life anymore and i make my girlfriend suffer.
can relate its hard
Same
Yeah, you are not alone.
This is how I am
I have to call my mom and talk through the symptoms and what I did right before I got them and I’m usually balling my eyes out cuz it’s ridiculous how much pain and suffering I put myself through subconsciously
It’s ruining my life and honestly I’d rather die at this point but I’m so afraid of pain and the possibility that things will get better eventually and the chance that I can go back to normal one day keeps me fighting harder every day. I don’t think people understand how exhausting it is though and I just feel so bad for the people around me who have to deal with my self destructive, stubborn brain
I hope we all find peace soon
We’re gonna get through this
It's so nice to finally feel seen 😥 it's absolutely exhausting living with this and no one understands.
Just you talking about all the noticeable symptoms a doctor could spot without doing big scans or tests actually helped me take a step back and take a breath for the first time in days. Thank you so so much
Almost everyday I keep on worry about death, cancer, hiv, hepatitis, corona virus, the flu and the list goes on SMH but one thing I have to do is pray and believe in Jesus mighty name amen and amen.
@scarletskull Roblox You are not alone my friend We just have to be strong 👊👊💪💪
@scarletskull Roblox OK that's good to hear
It sucks. I’d be fine for weeks but suddenly I get a mild pain and think of the worst. Last week I got a mild headache and have been thinking about it since. I just can’t get it out of my head thinking about glaucoma, braincancer and what not. The sad part is this thinking actually feeds headache and starts a perpetual cycle.
@@mehul6220 You are not alone my friend just keep strong but if the headache is severe and chronic seek medical attention immediately my friend.
Amen
This video makes me 40% calm. I will always pray to god for a good health.
Thank you so much for making this video, Dr. Tracey. I can relate to every word you said. My health anxiety started about 7 months ago with a swollen lymph node (turned out to be nothing). Since then, I have diagnosed with myself with so many different cancers that I have lost track. I constantly seek reassurance from the internet and other people (including family and doctors). I am only 25 and I don't want to live the rest of my life like this. It is so exhausting and it has caused me to develop depression. I feel that I am surviving every day and not truly enjoying life. I am starting therapy soon and I will definitely implement the habits that you mentioned in your video. I am determined to get better.
I have sexual based health anxiety. And it’s truly ruined my sex life… when I try to talk to people about it (because talking it out helps me rationalize my thoughts) I feel so crazy. And this made me feel a lot less crazy. So thank you! ❤️
Me too ❤ glad I'm not the only one, it's so debilitating
Same
I’ve had such bad panic attacks that part of my face goes numb and I immediately think I’m having a stroke. Scariest feelings ever it gets exhausting living with health anxiety.
I get this at least once a week!! Lord help us !!
@@geoguyrocks354 i too feel the same. Im getting scared day by day
I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH!!! its ruining my life and im so damn young
Same your gonna get through it 🤎
Exhausting is right. Sooo right.
I often fear that if I become happy with life, that I will get a devastating diagnosis or die in a car accident. My cousin died in a car accident, so the fear is real.
Oh wow I can totally relate to this!
Hahah same
Omg sameeeee wow we are all in this together I know the feeling 🙏🏾💜
Same 😭😭😭
I feel this too. I'm about to make a big move and be with someone I love and I'm afraid something will happen before crossing that threshold.
This video and these comments really talk about the exact things I do all the time to myself. It’s crazy how powerful our brains are and that they can make us actually have physical symptoms of what we think we have. We will get through this.
Wether you are currently anxious or have been before always remember: This too shall pass. You will be okay. We will all be okay
About 4-5 months ago I started getting panic attacks accompanied by physical symptoms on a daily basis like body aches, tension, feeling lightheaded, feeling dizzy, nauseous, feeling hot, dry mouth, and excessive trips to the bathroom to urinate. I felt like I was dying everyday.. every symptom (which could be explained by anxiety) I assumed was some serious illness like cancer or that I would have a heart attack. It’s gotten slightly better, I have my good days and my bad days, but it so stressful and scary. This video helps knowing I’m not alone and recovery IS possible. It’s so unfortunate so many of us are experiencing this but baby steps will get us closer to healing each day.
A tip for everyone including myself. STOP GOOGLING SYMPTOMS. There are many many many similar symptoms to either an illness or just nothing in general. Google is a horrible place to look for symptoms. Ur brain loves to come up with symptoms that u don’t even have. Trust me I had fatigue for 5 months and I diagnosed myself with so much diseases and it turns out it was just my anxiety and my sleeping schedule. Or a mole that changed on me was just natural and nothing bad.
Thank you, Mr.AnderX
Yeah I’ve been worrying about something that happened 8 years ago lol
I can’t stop googling my symptoms, because I tried to searching my symptoms up to get closure that it was nothing, but it only built up my nervousness. I got a palatal tremor a couple months ago because I had a severe panic attack. I legit think I damaged my brain
We actually need deneuralyzer from MIB.

@@trinibee09 also went to bed at 6am today 🙋 this is the worst
I can't even express how helpful these videos are... I previously would've identified as someone with GAD but lately it has escalated to hypochondria and it's genuinely debilitating at this point. I have been tested for so many different things and everything comes back as perfectly healthy but when i'm in a moment of extreme dizziness and chest pain I struggle to calm down and rationalise it. It's really hard to get an appointment with a psychologist at the moment so these videos are amazing at helping me realise what i'm going through. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for making this. I have suffered from health anxiety for a few years now, and it affects my life in so many ways. When it was at its worst, I was unable to leave my house because I feared everything. I still greatly struggle with it today, but i’ve grown to realize that not every anxious feeling means there is something wrong with me.
Hypochondria is more struggle when people always preach "Listen to you gut feeling".
Every symptom we experience feels like a gut-feeling and that starts making it worse.
True bhai
Yesss
The main reason behind all anxiety is the rules and teachings we get from childhood
Life is not that difficult but our society has made it so complicated
Even death is natural but people have identified death as sinister and dark
@@grumpytank2927 No. Humans are genetically programmed to fear death and anything that makes us question the survival of us.
@@grumpytank2927 True. If we would have thought mental illness from childhood. We would have been aware of it.

I'm both hypochondriach + have chronic health issues. I go to different doctors and while they don't tell me I have absolutely no issues, but until this time, every bit of my symptoms turned out to be minor stuff. And yet, here I am, having 0/24 panic attacks bc of health anxiety 😢😢😢
We must be sister feel better
your not alone....
I have gone through this and now I m fine, don't worry you will be fine
My anxiety gets so bad that when I finally calm down I'm just so tired and sleepy I can barley function. I used to suffer with health anxiety when I was in my teens and it went away until now. I'm 32 and got covid and ever since then it's been a downward spiral. This video really helps and i greatly appreciate it
At the end of the day, tell yourself gently: ‘I love you, you did the best you could today, and even if you didn’t accomplish all you had planned, I love you anyway.

I cried when I read this
Who else had felt ridiculous and worried at the same time and has annoyed and upset loved ones because they know you're actually ok and it's just anxiety?

But now I finally recognise the fact that I'm actually ill
Affected by anxiety
Sometimes im embarrassed
Me, my parents tell me it’s my anxiety making me sick and I cry about it Bc I feel sick and everyone thinks I’m crazy because we’ve been to like 15 doctors visits in the past year and every time it’s nothing or something minor... my pain won’t go away I’m tired of it

that is exactly how i feel :( I’m always telling them i feel this or this hurts, or that im scared, hoping that maybe they will take me to the hospital cause i am so afraid. But they’re like “it’s just your anxiety!” And i get even more scared cause i think im about to die and all i do is cry. I feel like i get on their nerves :( sometimes they don’t even reply to my texts anymore. I hate how this has taken over me. I was never like this until 3 months ago. I hate it so much, i wish this didn’t happen to me
Very helpful video for someone who has this come up every few years it seems. Thank you for the time, effort and energy put into making this video and sharing this knowledge with those that need it.
This video just made me breathe in peace knowing I'm not crazy. Thank you so much for this information
Even just having a simple cold makes me feel like i'm dying.
Lmao same i had a cold and thought i had sepsis
Thats crazy same here have a cold now feel weak and havw a si us infection thought I had spetis
Yeah i even got checked for HIV cuz I was getting colds too often
I feel this same way
I dnt even able bare fan air 😰 i feel like it making me sick

Hii if you could tell me one thing since you seem to be very close of hypocondriac. Try pressing each of your cheeks from inside and move your tongue do you feel something below soft muscles of your tongue a small mass. And are there small limps in back of tongue or in deep throat Where your thumb might reach. I would really appreciate your small help it can help me.
Does anyone get a new “problem” and then days or weeks after, see signs (videos, newspaper clippings, commercials, etc.) about the perceived problem and get even more convinced you have it because these are signs solidifying it or are warning you? Or even get vivid/realistic dreams that you have an illness and then you’re convinced when you wake up that your dream was trying to warn you?...OCD/hypochondriac diagnosis here.
Me! It drives me crazy!
This happens constantly to me ☹️ it feels even more real when you see actual ads or commercials that relate to what you think you have
The dreams.... omg then i wake up trembling or confused
Yup, then develop more symptoms that you never had almost instantly. It gets better though. Been years of dealing with it, CBT therapy is helpful, and self Talk.
Omg me. Sometimes i feel like my dreams is a sign that im going to die, so i kept resesrching on google what my dream means
