Are there any other codies here who are CONVINCED there's something "wrong" and you have TONS of symptoms that all come and go, and you sometimes think it's anxiety and sometimes you're CONVINCED due to Google Searches that you're just plain dyin~?

I hope so because otherwise I'm a FREAK.

PS... I'm not a hypochondriac, the things are REAL... so I'm not talking about THAT, I'm meaning more along the lines that you make yourself sick with worry and anxiety over your symptoms that it's a never-ending cycle...

Uhhh, or somethin'......

No I don't do that. I'm quite low on the scale of obsessive traits in general though. I really can't think of much I obsess about.

I'm sorry you are dealing with it. It must cause a lot of anxiety. Do you have a counselor that you see and could mention it to?

Oh yes, it DOES... and then, when the doctor finds nothing wrong, I relax a bit... for awhile, until some new symptoms pop up!

I really do think it is something you should talk with someone about. Anxiety issues can get quite overwhelming if they are unaddressed.
