Hmm,
I cant really relate to this, but i do remember that when i began getting bad panic attacks, I turned into a hypochondriac. I thought i had EVERYTHING. Hepatitis, multiple sclerosis, cerebrial palsy, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and a busted blood vessel in my brain, plus many more!
Now, thinking I had those thigs was indeed irrational. But I really thought i had them...
My goal was to apparently subconciously put a fingeer on what i had. I was giving myself diseases for this purpose.
After i FINALLY went to the doctor, after a month of horrible anxiety and bad attacks of them, I finally learned that i had panic disorder.
This let me put a finger on the symptoms i was having, and was, indeed, about half of the cure.
Im not sure if this helps any, as my irrational hypochondria stopped after i kow what i really had..
Thats my story, hope it helps :)
regards,
Ben
