I am a HUGE hypochondriac. I blame it partly on my parents b/c they're both doctors so I know about all these random diseases and their symptoms and they only encourage it further by offering me medical books to do my "research". The other part is probably just b/c I'm a freak.
Last winter I had awful awful headaches and I did some research and I was truly convinced that I had brain cancer. I went and got an MRI over break b/c I thought I was dying. Of course, I was fine, but I didn't start to feel better until after I had done something to be certain I was ok.
My friends think it's funny sometimes, how freaked out I get, but it's not fun at all.
I can make myself physically ill just b/c in my mind, I AM ill. It really sucks sometimes, but it's not too out of control so I deal.
