Hi Everyone -

I am looking to connect with someone that has received either a hypochondriasis or somatization diagnosis. Looking to share stories, journeys, struggles, and symptoms. Thank you.

I am a diagnosed Hypochondriac. If you meant this way.
Yeah, I got diagnosed by a psychiatrist...

I was always like this since little, but later years tough life, sad things, etc... it increased and got diagnosed 7 years ago. Same time when I got panic issues.

hi there. hypochondria, pertaining to fears of ill health- (in the main) can sometimes be determined by anxiety or the manifestation can be singular in nature. (with causal elements to panic episodes.)

Hi BT

I have a diagnosis of health anxiety.

Health anxiety can really take over your life and actually comes under the umbrella of OCD so it's important to address your anxiety. I am currently going through a bad period with my health anxiety in fact it's the worst it's every been at the moment and has made my life a misery and I have to fight the constant fear that have a life threatening disease.

Talking therapies can be really helpful for health anxiety sufferers and CBT works very well so could be something you could look into. It's easy to find yourself stuck in the vicious cycles of health anxiety and it can be hard to stop which is why it is important to get help for it.
