Hello, this is my first initial post on here and I never really thought I would have to reach out for support. For the last 12 years I have suffered from hypochondria, depression, and anxiety. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 13, dropped to 84 pounds and thought i was never going to make it to today. So all my days that i live from here on out seem to be extra in my eyes. Funny thing is, my hypochondria didn’t appear until after the death of my sister. 2 months before i graduated high school i saw my sister pass away in the medical area of Disneyland. She was 30 years old. My age now. The reasoning behind her death was due to a blood clot from a C section. A freak thing. Every since then i suffered on an off with hypochondria. I guess this post is initially because I want to vent and wondering if anyone experiences the same things. I will have a random ache or pain somewhere and think the most irrational disease. Cancer is number one. I’ve talked to a therapist and been on 5mg on lexapro. I recently stopped a month again and it’s probably the reason why I’m writing this post. Tbh I’m writing this more as a vent because idk how to explain it to others who don’t understand or been in my shoes. I thank you for taking the time to read this.
