A question I thought I asked seeing I've been noticing I'm hypochondriac and anxietic. So anyone else here gone some of the same problems I got? Any one here just fear to much over silly things?

I think if there are, they won't admit it because they think they have an illness they don't have.

I know a guy who is one. It's hilarious to hear about the new disease he has every 2 years. He went from hypoglycemic, to diabetes, to cancer (didn't have it) and now he says he has chrones disease. (I think that's how you spell it.)

Fixed, I only know because the wife of a drummer I am a fan of was diagnosed with it. I ended up reading a lot about it

Personally I'd seek medical/psychological advice from a trained doctor, not a bunch of anonymous people on the Internet.

I suffer from anxiety and depression. I've been taking medication for it off and on since high school.

Stress anxiety here. Not a big deal for me right now, but I do get medicated to keep me from going too far into the anxious zone.

Cheetron--a little unnecessary, don't you think?

Just to make up for that: I'm kind of the opposite--on paper I'm a frickin' wreck; in life, I'm in denial. I refuse to take anything unless I'm in such an extreme state I can't function at any level. (As in, can't make it up the stairs because my left leg decides it hates me--and because I am an idiot, I normally keep the pain meds *up* stairs).

Most of my diagnoses, honestly, I suspect are bogus. Okay, I'll buy the PTSD. And the malaria. But I had a guy diagnose me with Social Anxiety Disorder once. No, dammit, it's not a disorder. I simply don't. Like. People. It's not a disease--it's based on years of experience. It was just easier for him to try to chuck me on some meds than actually, you know, *deal* with it.

And then I remember that in my day, we didn't have half these conditions. Seriously. Back when I was a kid, there was no ADD. It did not exist. Neither did the aforementioned Social Anxiety Disorder, PMDD, Seasonal Affective Disorder or a host of others. Always made me suspect medicine was inventing diseases to peddle more meds.

HK, Okay, I guess I'll buy the 'paranoid' diagnosis, too.

In all honesty, I have no idea what the hell is going on in the world, and I'm not even on drugs or prescription drugs. Imagine if I did take them!

I won't even mention what I've been diagnosed with. It has done nothing but get me in trouble with the jerks over at TFW2005.

My job is to look after a 20 year old who has physical disabilities and he happens to have tons of anxiety issues and is hypochondriac. I got lots of experience with it ask anything guys.

Your question makes me anxious

In all seriousness though, I've been studying mental health for 8 years now (long enough to know better but not be able to do anything about it ) and if it's interfereing with your normal life you should seek help either in vivo or online. There's probably websites that can teach relaxation techniques if you feel that it's not serious enough to merit professional help.
