sounds like a hypochondriac. go see a psychiatrist, not a doctor!
That’s called being a Hypochondriac, not paranoid. And honestly, yes. Doctors have no reason to lie, they make more money if you are really sick.
Have you only been going to one doctor? Maybe you should get a second opinion. However, don’t try to diagnose yourself from what you read on the internet. Everyone has at least one symptom from almost all of the diseases that are out there.
i cant really help you on this but how do you feel right now
Wow, you really are driving yourself mad.
Stop looking for trouble. Stop the research. Nursing and medical students go through the same thing when they study different diseases.
The doctors aren’t lying. You are lying to yourself.
Just stop it.
Don’t do it.
there is a disease where one is obsessed with searching for diseases on the internet.you may have that. theres nothing you can really do. i dont know the name of it though.
Hey i feel you! Anxiety-triggered hypochondria. Which is a terrible feeling of “something HAS to be wrong with me
“. I used to constantly be on WebMD.com looking at the symptom checker, researching the slightest thing i would think is wrong with me. One week it was cancer..then it was schitzophrenia bc i kept having negative thoughts of being sick or defective..rare diseases.. but really tho.. i started thinking more positively and trusting that my body doesnt have an illness!
In my experience ive been to doctors who have done EKG’s Xrays blood tests….its just an anxiety that causes you to over-worry about things..spending so much time thinking something is wrong…made me realize this…. If something really was to go wrong..then see a doctor…thats part of life..and at age 18..its slim to none that its something serious. So therefore..your fine
