While I am happy to see I'm not alone in this, it's sad to see so many others suffering. I am a hypochondriac. It sucks, it comes in waves, and I usually deal with it. Lately I have had a headache... Tension and sinus that I can't seem to shake so you all know the drill. It's obviously a brain tumor. Ugh... Why can't I just accept I have a headache like a normal person. Worst part is my husband is a doctor and constantly tells me I'm fine but I just pass it off as him not wanting to scare me. Actually on paper that sounds a lot more irrational than it did in my head. If he legitimately was concerned, I doubt he would spare my worries and keep it from me. I seem to be spiraling out of control since this headache started. I've fallen into a funk that I know will dissipate as soon as the headache goes away. The worst part about all of this is that I know I'm not crazy and I am completely cognizant of how irrational I am behaving and how my thoughts are not real but I just can't seem to turn them off. Fortunately I stay miles away from doctor google and am currently in the process of finding a psychiatrist. Meds are not an option but I'm feeling better just knowing there are others out there going through the same thing.
