Hypochondriac

in TTC After a Loss

Anyone else? No, seriously, A psychiatrist would diagnose me with this. Promise. It is truly interfering with my life. Once I start to think it's getting better, something else comes up. I talked to my last therapist about it, and she helped a little, but honestly....it's not something that is going to just "go away".

This morning, I was feeling my armpits in the shower because one has been kinda itchy and irritated. Of course I felt a bit of a knot on one side and not the other. Lymph node? Tumor? Lumpy armpit? I don't know! All I do know is that I'm sick of this sh*t.

Thanks for letting me vent, and if any of you other hypochondriacs out there have any suggestions, I'll take them.

FML.

    Huge one over here! My FI always has to put it in perspective for me, 'you are not having complete organ failure at 22.'

    I'm pretty convinced all the time that something's wrong with me!  Probably because I don't have a reason for the m/c's yet... so I assume there's something deep down that hasn't been found yet.  As sad as it is, when my doc ordered my CT scans last week, part of me was excited.  They scanned almost my entire body, and the only thing that showed up was a fibroid.  That eased my nerves and hypochondriac mind a bit!

    Well, I've spent the whole morning crying. If it's not one thing, it's something else. I have to see my rheumatologist tomorrow for my 6 month check up. I'm already brain-heightened because of that. Now my armpit. Why oh why can't I be one of those people who doesn't give a fluck about anything?

    I'm so over it. This is no way to go through life.

    Me!  I felt something "weird" near my armpit/side boob and was trying to convince myself it was cancer.  I think, more likely, it was my muscle bulging a bit after my personal training session that night.

    Omg! I go through phases of this! I've been positive that I'm dying the past few weeks. I know I'm being completely irrational but I can't help it. Every twinge, gas pain, headache...I think, "what's wrong with me!"

    You're right, this is no way to go through life.

    I feel like the fact that you are aware that you do this is definitely the first step. I'm glad you talked with your therapist about it in the past and I'm so sorry that it did not help as much as you wanted to.

    I'm not diagnosed as a hypochondriac but definitely have those tendencies. I personally think that it is incredibly important to be in-tune with what is going on with your body. One thing that helped me in the past was to jot down all of the symptoms I had and step away from Dr. Google/Web MD and bring them up with my doctor at my next appointment. The internet can be such a blessing and a curse. For me, it sometimes creates symptoms or makes me sick with worry.

    Hope you find something that helps for you!!

    I wouldn't say that I am a hypochondriac, but I have struggled with anxiety for most of my life so I can relate to the way you are feeling. I am sorry that you have to deal with that {hugs}

    Thanks guys....I appreciate the nice thoughts and hugs. I'm going to talk to my doctor about this tomorrow. This is all becoming debilitating, and honestly, it makes me so mad at myself, which is not good for my self esteem to boot.
