When I was 12, I experienced my first heart
palpitation. Ever since then, every little thing I feel in my chest scares the hell out of me. Sometimes it makes it hard to sleep. Sometimes the anxiety is so bad I feel like I have to go to the hospital. For every check up I get, I am always told that my numbers are fantastic...

I do realize my health in terms of physical,
mental and emotional is not well, but I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a hypochondriac. I'd like to almost blame this one on my parents because they were (and still are) worriers. My mom is a constant worrier and no matter what I did as a child, she would find it to...

I've just recently come to figure out
that I am a hypochondriac. It's actually been quite a relief. There's a part of my brain that can now be reasonable and think, no you don't have this diagnosis. You have a mental illness because you've chosen to ignore anxiety and push yourself harder and harder. You need to...
