hypochondria

Now ever since 2022, I've been having a phobia of bats ever since I learned that they carry rabies, and we should all know about rabies, so I was relaxing on the couch when I suddenly noticed these marks on my leg, I'm terrified that this could be a bat bite, but my house has NEVER had a bat...

I'll preface this with two things. One, I KNOW I don't have rabies, rationally my brain, body and conscience helps me confirm this. And second, I totally understand that hypochondria is a very really thing and I do not at all intend to sound insensitive by posting this or to take away others...

Here is the situation. I poured some sirup into a glass first. Then I poured tap water in,and because I was thirsty I drank right away. But because I poured in the water quickly,the top was foamy(kind on like when you pour a beer),and that foam was a bit fizzy,so I felt some droplets from that...

I was inspired by jay_03's posts about his rabies fear, so I decided to post about mine. It all began in July of this year, I was at my dad's house, and I was playing with one of his cats, and I remembered that sometime between March and May, she was playfully nibbling my finger, I then started...

Hi guys I’m scared of rabies but my family thinks I’m irrational. So when I was on holiday in Turkey near Didim we would take a walk by the sea through beaches and collect sea shells. It was about 10 in the morning when I was about to pick one near some black object I interpreted it as a sea...

I am not a qualified medical professional. Please do not use this post as medical advice. Hi everyone - In March, I experienced a very scary panic attack that made me convinced I was going to end up in hospital. Luckily, I didn't end up in hospital and I managed to get through it. I would like...

Yesterday myy dog jumped on my bed and licked my whole face while I was sleeping. I am worried about rabies. The dog is vaccinated but what If the vaccine failed? The dog was in rural area about 4 weeks ago with my grandma and I am not sure If she got bitten by a rabid animal. I wouldn't be...

Nothing has bitten me. I feel so stupid when writing this, but I have extreme fear of getting rabies from anything. anything like food, cups, bathroom sink, fruit, soap, my phone, shoes, things that my vaccinated dog might have licked, etc. I have lost 22 pounds because of worrying. I only slept...

okay , so i should start by saying that i am a MAJOR hypochondriac and i have OCD as well so at this point im not sure if im just imagining this feeling due to my anxiety of it but any reassurance would help . so yesterday i was eating these flat tortilla wraps (not hard shell but they werent...

Hey guys, I’m 18 years old and I’ve had hypochondria for about a year and a half now. I always feel generally unwell, very fatigued everyday which has gotten so bad that I barely shower or get out of bed. I also have a buildup of mucus in my lungs/throat 24/7. By this I mean I’m constantly...

I'm a chronic hypochondriac and recently wrote a long blog post about my healthy anxiety related breakdown three years ago. Since what hurt me the most back then was the crippling loneliness, the thought that I'm completely alone with my fear of dying (pancreatic cancer) I wanted to share my...

I have severe hypochondria. It’s only gotten worse with quarantine since I have a ton of time to overthink and worry. I’ve been having sharp and dull pains EVERYWHERE. My back, my shoulders, neck, head, jaw, chin, ears, arms, chest, armpits, hands, legs, feet, and pelvis. I’m very nervous. I...

Over a year ago I got diagnosed with panic disorder, GAD, and hypochondria. Im 16 now and ive had symptoms ranging from headaches, or what i thought were brain tumors, to kidney pain because kidney cancer is always an option of course. Those have all scared me in the past and have really...

Hi everyone. I'm a 23 yo girl and for the past 6 months, I've had crushing anxiety. It all started with a panic attack, right after finishing my master thesis. My mind and body were exhausted, and I felt a "zap" in my brain. My heart started pounding, I was shivering, my legs were heavy and...

hey everyone! I am a 25-year-old female. I have horrible anxiety, PTSD, and phobia. My worst battle is hypochondria! I just got my blood tests back. everything normal except for a slightly elevated WBC (i don't remember the exact number unfortunately) But all I can think about is leukemia. Of...

Hi there. I’m the rabies phobia guy, but I’m also the guy working on helping everyone else dealing with this issue. So here’s the deal, I have a nasty habit of peeling at my cuticles when I’m nervous, and today I peeled them and they bled. However, here’s the catch folks, as I was peeling...

Hello. I have neglected writing about this for far too long. It is time to shed some light so others struggling will have peace of mind knowing they are not alone, and there are people you can talk to. My name is Jay. I am 19, an American male college student and general consensus claims I am...

Hi! First of all thanks for everyone who made this forum. Having hypochondria is super annoying especially when it sometimes get intense at the worst unexpected times. I have dealt with hypochondria for many years but it did not influence my life as much as it does now. I have my best friend...

Does anyone else get that feeling where they feel like they can’t breath and it gets so bad that you think you might die but not quite bad enough and then it lessens and starts over again and again. Also feels like this weird feeling in my chest and sometimes it’s like a shiver and tightness but...

This is my first time posting so I hope I do this right lol. I’ve dealt with anxiety my whole life and up until about 6 months ago it’s been on a whole other level. 6 months ago I moved 8 hours away with my boyfriend, away from my family. He works and I do not, so I am home alone most of the...
