I (24M) feel like a hypochondriac but there’s nothing I can really do about it. I’ve been dealing with feeling this way for as long as I can remember. I know it’s rooted in my childhood with my parents literally saying I’m a hypochondriac or Im over dramatic/over reacting about things. I started dealing with hair loss about two years ago and for a long while, it consumed pretty much every waking moment of my life. Recently, I have developed what I believe to be Peyronies Disease. I have an appointment with a urologist in two weeks after over a month of waiting. I’m terrified if the outcome of my appointment is a positive diagnosis. I don’t know what I can do with myself. I feel flawed and disgusting, like no one will want me and I won’t be sexually competent in the near future. I’m having a hard time getting my mind off the topic once it’s started, I’m obsessing over it. I just generally have such a negative view of my physical health. I just feel like shit is always getting worse and like I physically peaked a few years ago. Thankfully, I have generally prevented this kind of thinking from interfering with things outside of fears about health, but I almost always feel like there is something wrong with me and I’m terrified things are getting worse without me knowing. I didn’t know where else I could vent about this, but I’m under very intense distress and I need to get this shit off my chest. I could really use help but I don’t know what I’m asking for.
