Something people should talk about: Health Anxiety. AKA, being a hypochondriac.
Hypochondriacs are jokes. We are viewed as annoying, silly and nonsensical. Every medical drama will always have a patient who is a hypochondriac, who is the comic relief, the irrational man or woman who badgers the doctor and freaks out over nothing. In real life, people are annoyed and exasperated with hypochondriacs.
But it's a form of anxiety, like all of the others that are finally getting attention and acceptance on social media and in doctors' offices. And, considering that health care is not a sure thing in America, thay getting sick means you can't work, can't pay rent, can't buy food, that's a terrifying and real fear. Having a chronic illness or disability can cause a lot of problems. So its not an entirely irrational fear.
Anxiety can cause a lot of weird symptoms to your body. Random pain, especially in the chest, heart palpitations, difficulty breathing, extreme fatigue, numbness or pins and neeldes in legs, blurred vision, ect. And all of these can be symptoms to some big problems, like heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, brain problems, ect. Which is not reassuring when you are constantly afraid of getting sick.
Health anxiety is terrifying. Its the constant fear that your body will fail you, it's experiencing symptoms that scare you. It's the fear combined with the knowledge that it's in your head, but what if it's not? What if there is a problem, and not going to the doctor now will ruin your life? Can you even trust the doctor to know what they are doing? You've heard horror stories of misdiagnosis and dismissal. What if they think I'm crazy and stop actually checking? Those are the thoughts that run through your head.
So please stop treating health anxiety as a joke. It took me a long time to even realize what was wrong with me, why I was reacting this way. All because I had this bias in my mind that hypochondriacs are silly, useless, and irrational people.

i just want to be a normal 20 y/o for once like i see other ppl my age who are happy and enjoy life but here am i, constantly living in the debilitating fear that i have some serious health condition. i have been a hypochondriac since i was a kid but it just got progressively worse as i grew up and now i have to live w myself and these catastrophic thoughts that keep me awake at night and doesn't even let me concentrate on the important stuff such as studying for my exams and just living life rather than pushing through each day to keep myself alive. it's such a struggle to live this way when i feel like im dying everyday.

Here's to remind those that do not experience hypochondriacal episodes/anxiety attacks related to health anxiety:
Hypochondriacs are not crazy. Getting scared over a symptom and having an episode because of said symptom doesn't make us mental, we are simply responding to an unusual/strange sensation the way one would, by panicking. (also, calling someone crazy while they're having an episode will definitely NOT help)
Hypochondria is real. It is not a faked disorder. It is real and can be very upsetting/debilitating for the person experiencing it in large bouts. Even if symptoms may repeat and feel the same as they do every other time, they are no less real and no less scary.
Anxiety SHOULD be taken seriously. Hypochondria SHOULD be taken seriously. People that experience these things SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. and if you experience any of these things and you feel like nobody takes you seriously, I promise you there's people that do, me included. Your anxiety is real. And i see you and I'm proud of you.
