I think that I may have a health anxiety disorder. Anxiety is taking over my life . I haven't been to the doctors to get diagnosed , but I think that I clearly am suffering from hypochondrasis . I worry about my health all the time . Chest pain = heart attack . Head ache , I think I'm going to die . I'm scared all the time . I have bad thoughts constantly . I always think what might happen . I need someone to talk too . I think If I do go too the doctors and they prescribe me medicine , I may experience the side effects and die . Ugh lord help me . My life is a wreck . I look at things different . I constantly worry about the future, I look up symptoms on google and think I have everything .I recently been to the doctors and got tested for two STD's, the results came back negative, at first I thought okay great , but like 5 minutes later I started freaking out and kept telling myself the results are incorrect, something had to go wrong, the doctor isn't right. Help ?? The paranoia is horrible. I am terrified of everything . When I'm in the car with someone , I think we are going to crash. Once I had On a blue shirt & some stranger came up to me, before he could speak , i assumed he thought I was in a gang . It's always what if , what if . At night I be up, researching symptoms that I have and just cry b/c I think I have every illness that their is ! Am I depressed ? Hypochondriac ?? There are so many disorders out there. Help

You don't have a so called anxiety disorder. the symptoms you are feeling like Chest pains, Head Aches ect. that also comes from too much stress. You need to find a way to relax, stay positive, think positive. look at it as if it's a muscle, the more you work it out the stronger it will get. Practice praying more.
If you can, you should spend a day or two away from the city, invite any available friends, go on a nature hike. The doctors like to make it seem as if you can't control it so they provide you a medication that usually just masks the problem instead of fixing the problem, Some people do need medication but most people don't, I'm not a doctor but I don't think you need medication.
Thank you for your answer . Appreciate it . I will def. pray about it & try to calm myself , b/c I always seem to get worked up over everything .
Thanks , God Bless !
