- www.Stop-Anxiet... - You're about to learn how to finally overcome your Hypochondria and free yourself from all the pointless worry of convincing yourself that you're sick, ill or even dying.
I'm 20 and by now i thought i had lung cancer, heart attack, brain tumor, stomach cancer, leukemia (every time when blood is leaking from my nose), internal bleeding into brain, mouse fever, tetanus etc. Sometimes i spend entire days depressed and convinced that my life will end soon and i was just thinking how my family will be sad after i die. Even if doctor says that my health is OK i always think that he didn't look properly. This hypochondria is really a horrible thing, and it does affect my social life
Ivan Lončarević OMFG!! That's exactly how I feel, hypochondria it's eating me alive :(
Same here😭😭😭😭😭
That's how im feeling at 20.
same here, im 19 and feel these same things. lets stay strong
Same here man i am 23 and i am too suffering the same thing
Seeing all these comments makes me feel less lonely about this whole anxious mess I am.
And hopefully one day people will realize how Mental illnesses like hypochondria are something that deserves more attention.
your not alone its driving me to insanity big hug x
your not alone its terrible sending you hugs xx
@@xalphq877 hope you get help
people who do not have hypocondria will never understand what we go through i had simple head pains that i would turn into major headpains that i thought were bloodclots or turmers in my brain. chest pain was a heart attack. a twitch in my hand meant i was had a nervous disorder. im 17 this all hurt my social life as well as life in general
Wow.....its like you're describing my exact thoughts!! My family gets frustrated with me at times but they just don't understand....I can't help it!! I'm always thinking the worst!😖Thank you for this though!! It's nice knowing I'm not alone!
+Danielle G. so true my mom doesnt understand!
I know I'm going through this now so I'm glad you know your not alone,I'm going through it to
Aman Sagar Raizada exactly
Aman Sagar Raizada same here bro
Danielle G. Same....☹️😒😕
I believe i'm a hypochondriac but I'm also afraid of seeing a doctor because I'm worried they'll give me ad news :( just want this to stop. I cry almost every night
Same here girl it sucks!
Same here, I wanted to go to the ER or urgent care, because I was extremely dizzy, chest paints, etc, if you personally know a nurse or doctor as a close friend, family etc I would feel more comfortable talking to them, because you know them, and for some reason my attacks gets worst when I'm shopping at stores with bright lights, and shinny floors, like Target, Walmart.
Same
Me too I'm 15 and I'm afraid I have hiv. Even though I'm a virgin. I can't stop researching. I feel like I'm the only one who is like this sometimes. I've never done drugs either but I can't help it. I really can't I keep rambling...
Me too
Has anyone ever had a pain or feeling, but the moment you see something like "it's cancer" it never stops and you can't stop thinking about it? I suffer from hypochondria and this happens to me all the time...does anyone else out their ever have this happen to them? If you do, please share and give me some peace of mind..
Even though I'm a fairly healthy and fit male, I've been afraid I have breast cancer >.
Same thing often happens to me. Sometimes i feel a little pain in my back or in right arm and i immediatelly think i have lung cancer. Than, because of fear my pulse grows which makes breathing harder and my fears graetaer.This is only one example. I'm just 20 and by now i thought i have at least 7-8 deadly diseases and cancers. Sometimes, I am depresed for several days, just thinking of how i'm going to die soon.
Yep all the time! Had a slight discoloration on my skin probably was a bruise, first thought was oh shit, I hope this isn't cancer.
Me too im suffer to this everyday pain back or chest pain feeling ive had lung cancer but try to xray its normal i dont jlknow reason why
Omg same and the probleme is when i overthink about having a certain disease each time i open social media i read things concerbed that disease and im like ""gosh maybe its a sign that im really diseased"
“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.” This is true but quite depressing with anxiety - you look back and see that you've wasted your life enduring lots of mental suffering and hypothetical catastrophic events which may as well have been real - such is the power of the mind.
Try being a hypochondriac and having an extreme fear of doctors... Fun.
Same here...
me too
Manch0vy that's so me
Manch0vy dont fear doctors...u fear the "disease"... which let.me.tell u...dont be afraid.of aids. caNcer or any of that shit..cus every disease is curable! everone..and to everone sxurrd of cancer...WE all grt cancer everyday
we are born with it...our bodies just know how to kill em.
Manch0vy I feel like I have all these diseases and I want to go to the doctors but at the same time it's scary too bc u might actually get diagnosed with something which is the reason u went there in the first place. It's ironic for me.
Anyone else suspect brain tumours all the time? A repetitive tingle in my head, I forget how to spell a word. As well I have other health worries which are most commonly schizophrenia, blindness, deafness, paralysis, retinal detachment, meningitis, septicaemia, heart attack, other cancers...The list goes on!
yeah i get like that sometimes but i feel ya bro yr not alone
+Mani Jones i have it too. i have no pain on my head nor migraine nor headache but sensation and off balanced i was thinking its inner ear issues but now you pointing about tumor now i suspect about it and feel worse what happen with me ;( i hate feelig dying every single day
I get that feeling on my head/brain it sucks, I'm not going to lie it scares me, the bright lights from stores like Target, Walmart, and the shinny floor, makes me dizzy, and I feel like I'm living in a dream world, nothing feels real, besides the fear.
Wow same bro
Same
WebMd screwed my life. lol
mine too. lol
😭😭😭😭
Ik right
The problem is looking for the cheap method of Diagnosis you'll end up knowing the dumbest Standards ever on the Internet. Never google any Medical Diagnosis.
Same here
I took psychology and I pretty much thought I had every illness that was mentioned in the class
Bob Jones same here
Bob Jones same lol I convinced myself I had schizophrenia for like 8 months to the point where my mind was tricking me into thinking I was hearing things. It was an odd time in my life.
anxiety is so horrible.. i remember i would wake up sweaty with my heart raised..
Me too I would swear I was having a heart attack, find myself going to the doctors, and ER's finding out it was just heart burn, or a panic attack...
maybe its HIV
+SalamiNugget who talking to?? me?? if so, you're assumptions make me wonder. is that something you have or think you have?? im proud and happy to say that im hiv negative, meaning i dont have it. i have it on paperwork too!! I've had a full viral blood panel including a hiv blood combo. dont you even know what that is as you seem like you haven't checked yourself for that. peace!!
Bruh this is so comforting

This video made me cry. Everyday i struggle with anxiety and stress. It has been a long time and i still keep having these crazy thoughs that are eating me alive. i try and try but somedays like today, my anxiety get the best of me. I know i am healhty but i made the mistake early on about going online and searching symptoms and diseases
You are not alone. I struggle with this on and on. What helps me is the word of god, I too am tormented with these intrusive thoughts. I look on line and make things worst looking for relief. You are not alone.
sorry to hear that :( i know how it feels and it drains everything in me. i wish we'll be better and get our normal anxiety levels back to normal.
pointlessCRAYtv Me too man :( it sucks
You are not alone bro, i go through it everyday... fucking sucks. You're healthy as Superman, trust me man. Stay strong and look for help, doesn't have to be a doctor, just talk to someone about it.
I know it sucks and when you are sick it's so scary just the littlest fever
Im 14 and I suffer from this too! so for people reading this you aren't alone. I used to think that i had chest pains which meant i was going to have a heart attack, i had a bruise on my index finger and believed that it was going to get amputated i thought that my itchy feet was due to diebetes which was also going to get amputated, I had a pain in my knees and thaught they were going to get amputated i had a pain in the top of my head and thought i was going to have a tumor and whenever i had headaces i believed i was going to have a stroke or anyerysm.. and alot of other symptoms continued today. Also earlier today i was worried that 2 of my moles were melanoma moles. This is a very tormenting disease.
.
It is very horrible, sometimes I even consider suiciding from all this pressure, and thanks, Im 14 as well and it does get better
Finn Toadsmen wow I thought i were the only ones my age that had this haha... im peter btw
Peter Martin Yeah well I tend to dwell on bad things alot, good things I've tried are biking and swimming, and hanging out with friends
dude im 17 when my dad got sick i used to get scared of gettin seizures strokes heart attack cancer and when i was had anxiety i use to get scared of going to sleep even when i used to think i would die of my sleep
+Jonathan Mendoza sorry to hear about your farther. and yeah I feel ya bro.
Thank god im not the only one, its just getting to the point where i feel scared of almost anything e.g heart attack,alcohol poisoning and lung cancer. i fell this issue just gets little attention, i dont think people realise how much it affects social life and work.
You're not the only one. We're all fearing cancer, HIV, and heart attacks together. And since we're all fearing them, and not 100% of us can be truly experiencing them, it gives me comfort. But I agree, not a lot of conversations going on about this, unless it's being used for comedic relief.
I am a 16 year old hypochondriac guy. Ever since I could read, i've been obsessively reading food labels and eating healthy and when I was 9 years old, i was convinced I had throat cancer and i wouldnt swallow any food unless it was liquid or puree. Nothing was medically wrong. Throughout the years, i have been using the internet to help diagnose myself. I had a stomach ache and i thought it was a hernia. And now my lymph nodes are swollen, so i am scared that I have cancer or AIDs.
But I really wish i could stop all this obsessive and sick thoughts.

I swear if I get a headache I feel like it's a brain tumour I'm 19 and I can't focus but I really need help
Same I was diagnosed with a sinus infection like a week ago and am taking antibiotics and nose spray but I'm still having headaches and I'm scared.
I can relate
I am SO GUILTY of searching up my symptoms online! I have a slight pain in my lower left abdomen and have convinced myself I have ovarian cancer and Irritable Bowel Syndrome!
Verity Webster Dammm im sufering something similar, i noticed my stomach beating and search the symptom only to find out about AAA, i wish i hadnt done that, know im contansly think that my aorta is growing, i hate this feeling so bad
LXRD KRVNKZ so good to know I'm not the only one! In the end I moaned so much that my Mum took me to the Doctors and they said they weren't 100% sure what it was but it definitely wasn't serious or life threatening (which I'd convinced myself it was!) and I did some tests and stuff and they all came back negative and then about 2 weeks later the pain went away! So the only advice I would give to you is don't search your symptoms up online again because 90% of the time the results they come up with are wrong and also DON'T WORRY - go to the Doctors, they're professional and can properly diagnose you! Good Luck :)
+Verity Webster I can't believe people have the same thing as me.
+Taliah Miller lol like seriously were same. it likes its telling me i have cancer cuz i loose apetitte just by watching this all symptoms now IM FREAKING OUT. i could not sleep at all ive been thinking about it lately!!!!!! I HATE THIS IM CONFUSED
Same I thought I had kidney problems and I’m 13
I am a hypochondriac even though I'm only 16. I was doing a project for biology and I came across the fact that 1 in every 3 people will have cancer in their lifetime, and from that moment on, every single ache or pain would be associated to cancer, even though I try to eat healthy, I swim twice a week, I'm average weight (slightly underweight) I still get so paranoid that it scares me to tears somedays, super glad to know that theres people like me going through this! ((-:
yes! omg!
1 in 3 ???!! now my anxiety is high as fuck !!
Omg same and I'm the same age and I think I have brain cancer if I get a headache or start feeling dizzy
SmileyGirlXOXO i have a bump on my head and I'm scared as fuck I went to the emergency took and got it checked he said its the way my head is shaped I'm still scared a little tho. The exam was too fast .
Vanessa Chan I became the wretch that i am at 12😭
I suffer from hypocondria. have been for 30 years. I'm finally dealing with it, medication, ive joined a support group, and most important have giving it over to Jesus Christ

when my lymph nodes swell I start to panic and cry , thinking I have an incurable virus or diease.
RickySals omggg, same here. I felt one on my neck and thought I had HIV.
same here, I was able to feel my lymph nodes on my neck, and I started to panic.
Yo guys I also got scared shitless about my lymph nodes too, I also thought I had HIV, it turns out that it was just a lymph node that detects small (daily) infections in the body.
me too. i got tested for hiv just to be sure and turned it's negative.
Same i have this one in my neck and im 15 and i think i have lymphoma
I'm 10 Hypochondriac it has ruined my life

Alcohol helps me, fuck it
this video kinda helped me rn.
i've been panicking about this deadly disease for about 5 or 6 months now,and i didn't know what to do anymore.
the fear of this thing actually ruined all of my days,but this video made me realise that if i pay attention to my surroundings and if i just think positively,everything will go alright and i will live a happy life.
why do people assume that health anxiety sufferers are so obsessed with their health that they are usually in tiptop condition!! this is not always the case, infact many are to scared to get checked incase something is discovered and they fear finding out their ill, anxiety really is a living nightmare for some
Sue Thompson Me in a nutshell
I've suffered from hypochondria since my early teenage years. At 12, I was afraid of leukemia and I was convinced that I caught it. But it got worse later: when I was 16, I was often feeling a pain in my chest, and I was pretty sure it was a heart attack. One night, I got so nervous that I had a panicked attack making my heart beat so fast that I almost fainted. With time, and experience, I've learned some ways to make myself feel better: first of all, I got to know my body. For example, the red spot I got on my body are not the symptoms of a lupus as I might believe, but are only the consequence of my stress. Actually, the internet made me able to learn about my body. I am not a genius in biology, so I've decided to learn stuffs by myself. Also in most of the websites that speak about health, they put forward some hypothesis about the origin of your pain. Of course, the answer "CANCER" is the most striking, the most scary answer, but we tend to forget that there are other possibilities. For example, the other day, my stomach was hurting so I wanted to know what the internet was thinking about that. There were some options but I can only remember 2 of them: cancer or too oily food. So I convinced myself that it was the second proposition, and even of the day after that I was afraid of the pain would come back, I quickly realised that it was nothing to worry about.
Now I am still hypochondriac, I still think about a lot of stuffs when my body hurts, but when I really feel down and worried, I just try keeping my mind busy with something that I like, buried also talk about it. I talk about it with my friends or my boyfriend and I know that having someone else's point of view can make me feel better quickly. The fact is that we hypochondriac people, what we are looking for is other people's attention and love. In my case, I really think this is what I need. However, don't be afraid to talk about your problem to someone who understand you, like another hypochondriac person or someone that wouldn't juge you.
whenever i feel a pain in my chest or anywhere i always think there is something weong with my heart or what if something happens, im always worrying about my heart and ive had ekg done and they are normal my doctor did blood work im fine, but for some reason i still worry about my heart
Daddy Mac same I'm only 14 and I get like little heart flutters and I just worry about it to much
Lewis Wilson I get that too! It's common for people ages 14-22!
Same... been that since i was like 10.. sucks. Stay strong though, you are healthy!
Same. I’ve had chest pains ever since I was 10, and even though A doctor clearly told me that nothing is wrong, I still worry that I’m going to fall over dead with a heart attack. Everyday I stress over the thought of having a heart attack and it has caused me to fall into depression because of it. I truly hope that I get over this soon or else I’m gonna lose my mind.
i am the exact same way. constantly checking my heart rate, and visiting doctors for check ups. i feel i know what the cure is but it somewhat frightening. pushing yourself to physically to prove you have no heart condition.
i swear the situations you went through i’m currently experiencing them all. I really need proper help but this was definitely a start to help my anxiety
hope you get help its terrible xxkeep warm
hugs i suffer badly hard to cope sending hugs im here u want to chat x
Health anxiety and subsequently OCD ruined my life. I dont want to appear a victim but it robbed me of every happiness and love in my life. Awful awful disease.
happy christmas martin your not alone xxx
marty hugs xxxxxxx
I'm a hypochondriac and ALSO scared of hospitals and doctors, when I was 8 I knew what cancer and heart disease is and i'm scared that I have them, my life sucks.. I hope everyone gets back to normal and stops being a hypochondriac :'(
join anxiety support group your not alone
happy new year wizard tits
ok xxxxx
"Everytime my glands swole up i swore it was a tumor on my lymph nodes" I've never related to something this hard before
Ur fine and u deep down u know it... ur body is extremely resilient. Much love...
I would download microscope apps and inspect my body with it. Mole?? Cancer. Cough?? Tumor. I just got bloodwork done, urinalysis (microscopic) and a CT scan. Nothing. But, I still feel somethings there... hiding. Waiting. There's nothing!! Nothing!!! I have to stop this now. It consumes way to much of my time. Getting very little work done. Thanks for the coping tools to deal with this.
So comforting to see people like me, if my arm hurts I’m scared I’m having a heart attack, or if I have a sharp pain in chest from anxiety and stress, I feel like I have lung cancer.
Let's see, so far I've self diagnosed myself with lymphoma, throat cancer, lung cancer, heart failure, brain tumors, a few STD's, tetanus, and a variety of exotic illnesses.
lol thought I was the only one
I’m terrified of tetanus, it’s a huge trigger for me and I’m scared to even play with my puppy even though I know it will be fine, there’s still an illogical part of me that convinced me that it’s unsafe
This video is so relaxing to hear who your having a hypochondriac aniexty episode
Me: *gets a headache*
Also me: You have Rabies.
guys we are not alone I am watching this channel called axiety guy and really helped me alot . well my anxiety is that believing myself that I have heart disease and stroke and also bone cancer
Jan Aron Garcia he is very very helpful!!! I just started listening to his podcast!! My diseases are stroke and aneurysm....
I was scared that i had brain tumors, appendicitis, eye cancer, oncoming heart attacks, etc.
It makes me feel better knowing you are going through the same thing thank you and good luck
I'm 32 years old and suffering from this. I was dizzy for two weeks and went to see a neurologist thinking I had a brain tumor. I was crying everyday before I saw him because I convinced myself I was gonna die in 2 years. Neuro said my brain mri was perfect, but leaving the office I thought he made a mistake. Three days after that I had a stomach virus and I went to ER two times to see if I had colon cancer. Ct scan came back negative but again I feel like I have something terminal. Now, I think I have a problem with my prostate or testicles because my back is hurting, I have a herniated disc from an accident 4 years ago. This is really bothering me and I can't have a day of peace.
Hang in there- I feel for you!
I'm 36 and I feel you, I only have anxiety, panic attacks for 2 plus months, my first attack happened at the mall, out of no where I felt dizzy, lightheaded, Blurry, tunnel vision I just felt like I was in danger, and I had no idea why, but I had to escape, since than I even feel anxious trying too leave my room, dizziness it's what makes it hard on me, you're not alone.
For the past 10 years i've been through: 2 MRI for fear of brain tumour, 1 CTscan for fear of lung cancer, 2 procedures for checking stomach cancer including endoscopy-colonoscopy, 1 usg for testicular cancer, 1 procedure for checking nasopharyngeal and throat cancer, numerous blood test and abdominal test for leukemia, kidney or hepa cancer. All came back normal. Those pain were real but all test came back normal or nothing serious. Health anxiety has consumed my life. Still struggling to overcome it till this very moment. Internet make it worse for googling the symptoms. The fact is most Doctor refused my request to do those procedure but I always insisted. These cancer obsession is killing me slowly but I have to fight it. Hope we are all can overcome this issue.
Hi all, I'm 23 and I tend to suffer from this in stressfull times.
I found out that if I work out and tackle the real problem behind the stress it would just go away :D.
Find the real reason behind your anxiety, this helped in my situation.
And if it's keeping you up at night for a long time... just go to a doctor and explain, they'll get you help before you become a loner.
Oh... DON'T google any symptom!
This is the worst thing to do, It'll give you the worst results :/
Just you explaining hypochondria has helped me calm down, thank you
Omg , I'm not alone!!
thank you for this video, recently i had a spout of severe worry, first i was having stool problems, constipation, blood in the stool. i thought i had colon cancer. then, respiratory problems like slight shortness of breath, and tasting blood. i thought i had lung cancer. and then, i had a sore throat and tasted blood and thought i had throat cancer. this video helped me alot how to know when it's my mind aggravating things and causing some of these symptoms. i'm 13, its extremely rare to have any of the listed cancers, but its common to have these worries. if you are ill, get checked. but for the love of jesus the gangster DON'T LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET. and now just the thought of cancer depresses me badly. 84 MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR ARE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. HOLY FRICK.
jEFF That's weird because that was identical for me :O Now I am going through a panic worry over ALS
i have had hypochondria for 3 months now, i use to play it off like it was nothing, i never thought anxiety could be bad, but it kind of caught up to me, every morning i check the mirror and i go crazy. i cant stop thinking that i am going to get hiv or aids somewhere, i have not had sex in 2 years so i know its kind of rediculous to think i have it, but it wont stop me from thinking i contracted it from using my friends lip balm or something stupid months ago. its hard for me to talk about because the very word HIV or AIDS on the internet or tv will send my body into shock and i just want to hide away somewhere, my heart will palpitate i get shortness of breath andi get dizzy which just further makes me believe im dying of aids or something its terrible and i deal with it atleast once or twice a day, i sometimes lose my apetite even though im famished and it further makes me believe im dying, but the thing that scares me the most is that i go to uni in 2 months, holyshit idk how im going to make it. horrible, i would not wish these thoughts on anyone, it really drains your body of everything to the point where your body is constantly in fight or flight mode.
Over many years, I've had (in my fears) ms, prostate cancer, brain tumors, skin cancer, colon cancer, heart disease, and dozens of lesser symptoms affecting nearly every part of my body. The reality is that I am the healthiest, fittest person I know and my father will soon be 101 years old!
Sometimes I feel like the doctors doesn't want to see those of us that's dealing with anxiety attacks, because they know there's nothing wrong with us, and we're just making a big deal out of everything, which I can understand, however I find some of those doctors rude, they could spend a little more extra time with us, that's if they have some spear time to help us feel at ease, rather than rushing us out the door.
I'm not going to lie, I was sacred when I told my doctor i been getting dizzy, having chest pains, etc, and I even told him I believe I have anxiety, by me telling him I have chest pains, he told me to lay down, and I started to freak out, he had his nurse check my heart rate with some type of machine, and he told me I'm fine, and not to let anything worry me because I'm going to let the anxiety attacks fully control my mind, that help me feel better for a few days, but lately I been thinking crazy, I hate it that I can't stop thinking.
When I quit smoking cigarettes, the nicotine withdrawals had me convinced I had lung cancer already. I thought about it 24/7. I was looking at symptoms over and over again, matching them to what I was experiencing. It would wake me up at night even.
Meditation helps immensely.
I have so much anxiety about my heart
its terrible this is big hugs
Me too. I feel you
Me too 😭
Me too! Whenever it beats fast or I have a little chest discomfort I think I'm just going to live! It sucks haha
Me also! It’s getting bad lately.
I had this really bad back in 2012-2013, worst fears were MS, brain, blood pressure, heart (the usual fears). After having all the tests in 2014 come back clear, for the most part I have been hypochondria-free ever since, it still tries to come back sometimes but it's so much easier to brush aside with peace of mind hearing from doctors you are healthy. Do not fall victim to hypochondria, go to the doctor and stop worrying especially if you are young there is pretty much nothing to worry about.
typellllllllllllll
I suffered about a year of hypochondria, it started by thinking I had problems with my heart because of smoking or my drugs use, a few times after taking drugs I thought I was having a heart attack and went to the hospital emergency ny myself and got checked all over! The symptoms which I thought I had because of my heart problems occured almost everyday, aches and pressing feelings on my left chest and arm, so I was convinced something was wrong, even after several check ups I kept thinking that and the symptoms stayed, also some other crazy symphyoms occured which made me think I had other deceases too, I even wanted to try therapy but the psychiatrist told me straight forward I got paranoid because of my drug use, now drugs is not needed to get this disorder but in my case it was probably a cause of it. And basicly all the symptoms I had, I created them with my own mind, and these were major physical symptoms. How I helped myself- because at the end you have to figure a way out for yourself- was just imagine myself being free and not needing going to the doctor all the time. As you may have heard thoughts create reality and this is very true, visualize yourself living normal and being a normal and thats how you may leave this bullshit behind.
Rezzyy ahhh same smoking Triggered my anxiety as well has having the same symptoms you had, it’s awful🤦🏽♀️how’d you get over it ?
No Joke... I had crazy sky high blood pressure (medically not due to panic ... that hadn't happen yet .) and went back and forth to the hospital 3 times in a month... since then I haven't left my house or went to work in 20 day... this video made me realize this new anxiety I have about everything is from my fear of having something with my heart go wrong again ... I gotta chill out. It's been hell
On earth . One month in on two blood pressure meds and all natural food intake the Bp is still high but going down slowly.. but the new found panic attacks are crippling... basically I think a medical scare triggered health anxiety at age 32..
I am trying to work thru it. I will say this . My pulse and BP were lower after watching this video ✌️️
Having this sucks, this is my story.
I am scared to have schizophrenia and I think that everything I see aren't real. When I talk to someone I need to really see that person's mouth just to make sure that the words are coming from that person. I get really paranoid and even when I wake up in the morning from sleep, I already feel nervous. And when I search the symptoms of Schizophrenia, I get more nervous and paranoid. I don't know if some of you already experienced this but I feel like I'm the only one that is like this, which is weird. I'm still young and I've been experiencing this for 4 months already. This is not my real account tho. I just made this account to comment and tell you guys my story. please help me guys :(
hope ur ok its tough we know xxxxxhugs ur not alone
Did you end up having it?
This video made me feel less alone during the panic fazes where I'm trapped in my own made up jail in my mind. Thank you so much! You do not know how much this means to me. I will strive for being less of a hypochondriac and hopefully see changes. I know the changes may not come quick, but through this video I learned that it is quite possible to live a life where one does not get on their own last nerve. Thank you so much again!!!!
im in hell with this sending hugs xx

I'm 22 and I have this.... cause I'm way too young to be thinking like this
I'm 36, I've seen comments from 10-17 years old saying they also have anxiety, it sucks not matter how old you are.
Jonny Q great comment! I'm 32. I started having a terrible fear of a cerebral stroke after my father in law died of one. I started feeling symptoms of a cerebral stroke abd was waiting just for the moment when I'd see blurry with one eye and when I'd have pain on my arm and when I'm wont be able to express my self and speak normally. Went twice to the doc for this. Now it's with cancer. I also lived with HIV anxiety from 14 to 22 ( my first HIV test) so I guess I developped hypochondria at an earlt age. What I can say is that it is something that kills you slowly and ruins your life and health. I always have a question which is: if we are asked not to worry and that it wont happen to us, then WTF it happened to others who have this diseases? Are they not humans like us? So if it happened to them then it could also happen to us right? Sorry for my english
Drop Shot I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THAT, like that idea of "it won't happen to you" can't be true bc other ppl get those diseases too! but likely they are much older than us if that makes you feel any better
No bro I am 13 and I have this
@@oozoo6679 I'm 27 now.. lol nothing changed 😂
This hit home. Whoever u are i relate so much. Im not joking when i say every single thing youve said you felt i felt too. From heart attacks to the lump under the left breast. I call the docter so much and its really helped knowin somone else does this and this video was v helpful
I thought the end of this video with the tips was helpfull, but I fear that the examples you gave might be negatively stimulating to my or other hypochondiac's thoughts..
Just hearing you relate nearly brought me to tears, I felt unbelievably relieved after this video, thank you so so much🙏
i'm 14 and i'm a hypochondriac, i have a mole on my spine and sometimes i'll just randomly start thinking about it and convince myself i must have cancer to the point of freaking myself out so bad i have to lay down so i don't pass out, also when you said the thing about lymph nodes i have thought that same exact thing before
your not alone with this
Man Ive been so lost in life because of this shit it is so hard to focus on life its good to find people who relate I hope we all find peace of mind thanks for the video
happy new year x
ok xxxxhugs
I thought I had A.I.D.S when I was 13 because of hyochondria
WOW thank u for this video I was having a full on panic/hypocondria attack and it actually calmed me down about 95%. Your voice was very positive uplifting and even soothing to me.
I'm only 19 and suffer from this. it's taking over my entire life. and the worst part is I have a 4 month old baby and I love him to death but I can't stop the anxiety
It really got worse after I had my baby now I'm going to the doctor to get my 3 normal looking moles removed because I'm TERRIFIED it's skin cancer
Please see someone for post natal depression. You'll be fine. I promise.
its ruined my life hard to cope your not alone hugs x
hope your ok
happy new year sandra kind regards
My hypochondria started when I was 6. Yup, 6. I remember the words “ill”, “disease”, and “microbe” used to terrify me. I’d doodle over them whenever I saw them in my books, so that I wouldn’t have to read those scary words again. Once when I was 8, I got the flu and I woke up my Mom in the middle of the night, crying and telling her I had AIDS. When I was 10, I thought I had tapeworm. Ages 11-17 was kinda normal, but it all came back at 17 after I fell into depression. I started thinking that I had breast cancer. I was terrified of hpv despite the fact that I wasn’t even having sex at the time. I’m 23 now and since then, I’ve thought I had heart disease, brain tumor, cervical cancer, kidney disease, ovarian cancer, hernia, endometriosis, blood clots in my leg veins, eye tumor, mouth cancer, and more, despite the fact that I had none. I’d stay up till 4 am crying, thinking I was gonna die soon. I still can’t get over it though. It’s interfering with my school and social life. Even when my test results come back safe, I somehow end up thinking it might be a false negative.

Same here man. I already compulsively wash my hands and Hypochondria is just an icing on the cake. For example, I ate some bread with some pate spread on it. Now that pate was alright, nothing wrong ,the taste is good, no smell, no bumps in the can no acidic water nothing. And somehow, some way something came on my mind to tell me I have Botulism, and I keep telling myself that there was nothing wrong with me eating that thing and it was in perfectly good conditions but nooo. At that point my mid started deveolpoing symptoms, I was constaintly checking my eyes and everything. Luckly enough I bullied myself into stopping. Fuck hypochondria man, as if OCD wasn't bad enough.
comforting reading these comments anyone else ever afraid of what doctors have told me are normal digestive sounds the body makes you know hunger sounds when you eat drink something i try to ignore these sounds but it can make me alarmed........horrible hypochondria.....
I went to the doctor because I thought I was having a heart attack and she said that everything is perfectly fine with my heart I also did blood test and everything was fine but I still feel really anxious about my health and I always look up my symptoms on google. Lately my left arm was hurting I looked up my symptoms on google and it said it's a heart attack sign which made me even more scared. But then another one said that a pain in the arms comes from a bad spine which I have. I suggest not to look up your symptoms online cuz it does make things worse

Srikanth Korukonda are yu bttr now
i got had a cold sore one time,and i sat in my room and cried for hours because i was absolutely terrified that i had cancer.I had a rash on my arm,and i had convinced myself that i had chicken pox.My period was 2 days late,I convinced myself that i was pregnant even though ive never done anything more than hug someone.I understand what everyone is feeling,and im only young.
hope your feeling better emma
Every time I have a panic attack. I convince myself it’s a heart attack.
Yeah that’s one of the symptoms of panic attacks
I don't know why but listening to the sound of your voice just calmed down my anxiety... thank you
I'm honestly depressed over this. My legs were hurting bad and it went to my fingers and now I'm scared I may have thyroid cancer. I wanna kill myself sometimes because I'm scared that I have cancer and that it spreaded to late and I will die. I have anxiety, and panic attacks. I pray every morning and day to the Lord hoping that I'll be alright but deep down inside I'm numb I'm empty I'm scared. I've cried so many times the last few months. When you have the symptoms it's scary. I look on Google everyday and I just end up crying because of what I see :((((. I'm in depression because of it. I just went to the doctors, but I'm going back. I want CT scans, blood test everything. Im really scared of them telling me I have cancer :(( I don't know what to do I'm so sad. Nobody understands me.

I myself am a hyperchondriac and it is a horrible feeling. Everytime I feel a stomach pain, or anything I will freak out. I've had blood tests you name it and I'm told I'm healthy by lots of people, always looking for some kind of reassurence. It really stressed me out and stress can make you ill, I got a Urine Track Infection which is painful and straight away thought it was HIV or an STD which I know I don't have. I find going to places with friends and keeping your mind off it helps because the more you think about it the worse it'll be. Also I find relaxing helps as well, you could try herbal remedies that calm you down. I do know what goes through your head, I've had panic attacks, thoughts of suicide you name it. If you struggle please feel free to message me and I'll see if I can help.
Yes!
Can we talk. Do you have kik?
I do, its jimmywild
your r not alone thanks for this
its freaking me out totally yor not alone
I diagnosed myself with brain tumor 10 times, stomach cancer 4 times, breathing problems 3 times!
I sometimes may act like a hypochondriac like when I would sleep
I would feel like I wouldn't be awake the next morning or I will stop breathing so it's scary but I can manage to get through it.
I was like this for some years I however managed it.... 2 months ago however, I lost a close family member suddenly and that’s when it hit me full blown. My advice? Go see a therapist before you get to this state. It’s not nice.
I agree however I also don't exactly like hanging around my parents and their friends either for the same reasons. It seems like most of their conversations are about someone having this or someone having that. I wished they'd shut up and talk about something positive.
It completely cripples me I don't even get up out of bed no more and I'm only 20 I'm not even overweight but my constant fear of something is wrong with me makes me scared to walk I'm scared to do anything I'm scared if I move too much I'll die I'm in hell with this
glad to know im not alone
i sympathaise your not alone ryan kindest regards xx
It helped a lot. I'm 14 and I'm hypochondriac since I'm 11. Even though I don't have any symptoms of an illness, I start thinking that I'm dying. For example, when I smile, one of my eyes is slightly more closed than the other one so I started thinking that I had the silent sinus syndrome or when I have a headache, the first thing I
think is that I have a brain tumour or that I have some kind of rare disease and I will die. Then, I go on Google to search my symptoms and it gets worst... It's sad how peoples don't even know what's hypochondria or think that it is ridiculous and that anxiety it's much worse. They don't know what is the feeling of being convinced that you're gonna die , each and every day...
I have fibromatosis and i keep thinkin a new tumor might be cancerous, whenever i lay down my head hurts and i think i have an anneurysm thats going to burst.. i hate this
hypochondria is the worst. it has started to affect my life, yet youll never know. i am so scared of everything and always think im dying. its not even a fear of dying but a fear of losing control. knowing your about to die but you cant do anything about it.
I actually had a breakdown for the glands example you mentioned..:/
I'm literally overwhelmed by this narrative! I have all these thoughts and no one seem to understand what I'm going through. My relationships was a living hell for both me n my ex😔😞. I'm glad I saw and heard this
i inderstand its hard to cope ok im here you want to talk sending hugs xxx
I also have a nodule on my thyroid, although the doc said its non cancerous i feel like i have cancer or thyroid issue and im only 12!
Gone throught this too and I have had my thyroid removed. The results came ban benign. You can stop worrying. Believe your doctor.
I have been suffering with this since 2013. It is completely debilitating, I couldn’t go out of the house for 4 months! One technique i found useful is when you have a symptom is to make a deal with yourself to ignore it and not to check it or look it up for 3 weeks and if still there then go to the doctor. Often it will go away or you will forget about it in that time
happy xmas julien i feel the same way hugs xkep warm
My skin feels warm but I don't have a fever and I start to think I have Leukemia and I constantly feel my neck searching for lumps because I think I have Lymphoma.
I feel you I also have anxiety, panic attacks do sometimes wake up with a small fever, and start sweating like crazy p, than out of no where you get dizzy, and breathing issues? I do and it's scary then my head starts to hurt, as it someone was squeezing it.
+Jonny Q I have all of that! thank you I thought I was the only one and I thought I was dying
+Guatemalan Kiddo 778 It sucks, even as an adult male it makes me want to cry, and honestly I do when I can't control my fears. How long does you're dizziness last? Mines it's none stop even if I'm laying down I feel like my room it's titling over towards one side, the only times I'm not dizzy it's when I'm asleep.
+Jonny Q my dizziness won't go away it's like if I stand in a queue I start to feel dizzy. I'm 15 years old and I'm a guy and I've actually cried before when my fears got so bad.
+Guatemalan Kiddo 778 Nothing wrong with crying, even if you're 15 or my age 36, people that laugh are also the same people that doesn't have to deal with this 24/7, now if they have it or knows someone close to them than they will understand. I'm the same way my dizziness doesn't go away as well, sometimes it's not as bad, and there's days it's really bad, how do you feel when you're laying down? Does it feel like you're going to slide off bed, and when I'm standing I feel like I'm on a endless boat ride, I can't walk straight because I'm unbalanced.
This makes me feel so much better. I thought I was going through this alone.
no im terribe state hugs xxxxxx
ur gorgeous too x
Hypochondriac and hate doctors/ hospitals... 😞
11 years later and you’re still helping people! Thank you. I’m 19 right now and convinced I’ve been unwell now with the pandemic. Being home all the time and being in my head a lot I’ve gone crazy.
me too my anxiety has been so much worse after surgery and being in the pandemic. even after having covid because my anxiety is emetophobia! i hope you’re doing better :)
stay warm your not alone
hey , im having the exact same thing, i am ALMOST SURE I HAVE HIV/AIDS, but my parents laugh at me, my grandparent said that i have hypochondria, i dont believe it, and anything normal that appears in my body, i say to my self " ok, i gotta save money for my possible hiv treatment." I had a normal life till i searched about aids online (curiosity) and i started to see the symptoms online, and i freaked out, i had 1 or 2 symptoms, that were tiredness (could be because i am extremely sedentary), white toungue ( i rarely brush my teeth), and burning urine ( i drink about a little water bottle a day, i dont drink much water), and i think about that for 24 hrs a day, and if something normal appears in my body, like a mosquito bite, i say " its aids rash, i know its aids rash, it has to be", WHATS GOING ON W/ ME????? ( i also measure my weight about 5 or 6 times a day, to make sure if i am not losing weight) i am so depressed that i rarely eat
David Oliveros brush your teeth sheesh
David Oliveros eat or you will lose weight and you will convince yourself of a bad cause
LuckyLegionN7 thanks for worrying about me, but it's been more than 7 months that I am back to normal, I did my hiv test, came back negative, I feel normal again, it was all from my brain, now i am focusing on school I'm getting all a's almost made it to the top 10%, but what happened in the past is past, I didn't had any exposure (unprotected sex) I'm a virgin still, never used drugs, but I was like, i know I have aids for some reason, it was all from the internet, NEVER SEARCH SYMPTOMS ON THE INTERNET, otherwise it will happen to you what happened to me 7 months ago ....
David Oliveros yeah I've recently been doing the same thing...googling it's not good :p
VERY GOOD VIDEO! . my hypochondria is ruining my life ..but i always come to my senses when i hear others talk about it ..thanks man!

im 23 years old from germany and it all started by the age of 10.. i dont know exactly why it started but it was during a very bad time in my life. i was forced into a some kind of labour camp and it was horrible. it ws in there where i first got those real intense anxiety attacks because i discovered purple spots on my penis. i was really really scared because i didnt know if it was dangerous or not but it later turned out that it was pretty normal.. during the 13 years i had times where those anxiety attacks where pretty much gone and other times where they came and it was really hard to deal with them. in the past 13 years i was scared about parkinson, eye cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, bone cancer, breast cancer (even though im male), testicular cancer, retinitis pigmentosa (i though i would go blind) and lots of more stuff. i visited so many doctors in my life because of my hypochondria but luckly here in germany its pretty much free so i dont have to pay anything. its quite a shitty thing to have but what me helped the most was to deal with death itself a bit more. i feel like by reducing the fear of death u also reduce the fear to get sick. i just have to remind myself a lot that death isnt all that bad because i wont notice it anyway. its like the nonexistence i had before i was born. but i also lose all my knowledge and skills i built over the past 23 years. its rather sad because all that knowledge i have right now gives me so much freedom. and once im dead everything is gone again. thats so sad. many people around me dont have troubles dying / even want to die but im completely different. i dont wanna die at all, i love being alive especially now since i did almost all the work to enjoy my freedom. maybe i should get some medication that reduces anxiety or remove the part of the brain that is responsible for the hypochondria. ppl without hypochondria need to realize that its not easy to rationalize against hypochondria. even if u are as educated and smart as me. its just so hard to get rid off.
Monster inside me.....
Hypochondria/health anxiety is pure hell!!! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy....just this last 2 months i've 'diagnosed' myself with: stroke, brain aneurysm, blood clot on the brain, brain tumour, MS, motor neuron disease, hypertension, diabetes, coronavirus, skin cancer, mouth cancer, throat cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, lung cancer and kidney failure...
I am 13
And i am a hypochondriac😐
I'm a 13 year old girl who is a mother and this just makes all of my worries worse I worry that my 2 month old baby is sick and along with me. My stress is awful..
I thought I had a stroke... I thought I had Tetanus... Thought I had pulmonary edema... I'm currently going through the thoughts of having an anaphylactic shock...
Dont worry man I also suffer from hypochondria. Every slight thing wrong with me gets blown way out of proportion its really annoying. I constantly seek reassurance that im ok and that nothing is wrong with me, only the next day id be worrying about something new. When you get these problems its really important that you tell yourself that nothing is wrong with you. That its simply hypochondria messing with your head. Find something to do to take your mind off it, anything at all. Cheer up sufferers just remember there are millions of people who are going through the exact same thing. You're not alone. You can fight this guys. Yes its very hard to start with but keep at it and you will start living a happier and more fulfilling lifestyle. Best of luck everyone.
DrSE18 I'm telling you, its exhausting... For me its why I'm going through this? I broke down couple of time, I keep telling my self I'm fine but its hard when your brain dont listen... sometimes I think that there is something really bad going on with me...I'm holding my self from going to my doctor so I wont bother him anymore!
DrSE18
I cope with it by drowing my self in music, Tv show, and drawing all at the same time... it helps
SDKsa1 I know exactly what your going through. It is very exhausting and frustrating. Hell i'm a 22 year old guy and it even breaks me to tears a lot. You have to tell yourself that whatever it is you are feeling or thinking that it will pass. The reason why you constantly have these thoughts in your head is because you are trying really hard to ignore them. That is a big no! Ignoring the thoughts does nothing but make them worse. Everytime you ignore the thoughts the worry gets stronger and stronger. Keep telling yourself that it is only hypochondria and anxiety making you feel this way. I assure you 100% that you are completely fine. I know its easier to say than do I get that completely. Its very damaging to your social and physical wellbeing. The best way to deal with hypochondria and anxiety is to not ignore the thought but embrace it. Keep telling yourself that your ok and its nothing. You will get through this I promise you. If you really cant deal with it no more then go to a doctor and just explain everything to him/her. Trust me it feels so much better to get things off your chest. You will either be given anti-depressants or be seen by a therapist. Trust me there is nothing wrong with seeing a therapist no one has to know anything you say as it is all confidential. If you really want to get rid of this problem and live a happy life then please go and do something about it. Get it sorted and rid it out of your life. You will be a lot happier I promise you. Do you mind me asking what the problem is you are suffering with?
SDKsa1 I got incredibly worried I had ALS, at one point cancer, at another point Ebola, at another point a heart attack. It just goes on and on and on and it's ruining my life.
Hyprochondria is a bitch
