I'm a hypochondriac and I know Im a hypochondriac but it doesn't make it easier. I'm actually on medication for GAD and Panic Disorder already which did help but the one thing that really helped me was to stop watching certain TV shows like medical shows and reading stories about that. I had to find my trigger but boy I spent a crap ton of money just to be told I'm healthy lol. And interestingly I never had any mental issues until after my 2nd child was born and I think its all based on the idea if I die or get sick nobody can care and love my children like I can.
I've had somatization disorder now for 12 years being diagnosed only 6 years ago. After hundreds of doctors appointments and multiple tests like m.r.i.s, ct scans, ultrasounds over that 12 year span, nothing has been found from these symptoms that I go through. I've tried meds, cognitive behavior therapy, acupuncture and almost everything in the book these past 6 years yet I still suffer from this debilitating disease. I applied for social security disability and got it right away as have just been crippled by this disease. Scary thing is that you don't know what's real and what's not. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last year even though I felt no symptoms for that one particular thing. It was found as I had an m.r.i. for swelling under my jaw. My shrink said to stay away from doctors while my doctor said if i'm dealing with real symptoms, i must follow up with a doctor. I feel real painful and destressing symptoms....what do I do? Any advice would be appreciated?
