Money, my relationship, hypochondria, all of that starts my anxiety. Hypochondria is by far the worst thing that starts my anxiety. If I have a symptom, it triggers my hypochondria, which then triggers my anxiety, and they all just play off of eachother. It definitely doesn't help when it's like a vicious circle.

I hate CALLING places. I do not have phone anxiety, as far as just talking on the phone. However, I do not like calling anyone, for fear that someone else is going to answer their phone, or that they are going to play a trick on me or something. It just makes me nervous. i won't even order pizzas on the phone, because I have to call them.

I hate hate hate going places by myself, because I am afraid that everyone is going to see me, and make fun of me. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm a perfect weight, great body (I know this deep down), and my hair is gorgeous. So why do I feel that everyone else is going to make fun of me and laugh, or something? I am also fearful that they will see me, and somehow see my past, and judge me. Either by the clothes I wear, or the purse I carry, or whatever. I just hate going somewhere and being super noticed, or standing out.

Is anyone else afraid of taking medicine, or eating new food? I hate taking medication (even tylenol and ibuprofen), and even though I have taken these medications a million times, I'm always afraid that I am going to be allergic to it. I want to take some benadryl allergy and sinus to help with my drainage, but I am SO scared to. What if I am allergic to it? Ugh. I'm also afraid of trying new foods. Even if I may have eaten it before, I'm afraid I might be allergic. I have a drink in the fridge (Starbucks refreshers) that has been in there for almost a week, because I am so afraid that I am going to drink it and be allergic to it. Anyone else?

I'm afraid to do anything like this. I'm scared that I will refer back to it too often, and cause more problems with myself. Ugh.

I have several of these. Weird that these can all be signs of anxiety. However, they can also be signs of other things... which is what worries me.Yes, back pain is a symptom of anxiety, but it's also a symptom of being misaligned, or other problems. Dying prematurely, and having an undetected illness are my main problems.

I do not get scared of getting ill from contagious diseases or illnesses. It's the ones that aren't contagious (c****r, etc) that scare me!

I wonder how often this happens. How many lumps do you have?

I would be scared, too!! I hope everything goes okay. I know many people with Crohn's, sadly.

My health anxiety started with a panic attack. From there, it went into hypochondria.

I have dizziness (vertigo), headaches, back pain (from being misaligned, I think), and other small problems. Nothing too major, but just enough to make me think that I am dying, or that my symptoms are like.. .c****r.

That sounds like me! The burning for me is only in the bottom of my foot. There is no pain associated with it, though. That's the weirdest part.

I am terrified of doctors. I will not go unless I absolutely HAVE to because it scares me so bad. I'd rather be ill, or whatever. I'd rather wonder what it is, and look stuff up, then go to a doctor and get bad news.

I wish I could ban myself, unfortunately, it wouldn't work. I have too many symptoms not to google. Ugh. It's driving me crazy!
