"This is the end!" 10 signs that you are a hypochondriac


You always have a pain.

And if it doesn't hurt, it pulls, itches, spins, shoots, stabs or whines. Swiss scientist Yom Bodtker suggests that hypochondriacs can suffer from hypersensitivity of internal organs, and feel something that the average person does not feel. But there is no evidence of this yet, but the feeling “there’s something wrong with me” is there, moreover, constant: the background thought “I have something wrong with my health” does not leave you.










You make yourself diagnoses in Google

And if something is wrong with your health, you must immediately find out exactly what it is! For the addresses of hypochondriacs to the all-powerful Google, a special term has already been coined - cyberchondria. And this, by the way, is not a safe condition at all: every third resident of Russia is engaged in making diagnoses on the Internet, and some later decide that self-treatment will save them, because the "killer doctors", of course, do not understand and just heal them to death (optional: if only to tear off money, if only not to work). Hypochondriacs are even worse off: all the symptoms are ...



Any symptom is a symptom of a fatal disease.

As they say, if you have paranoia, this does not mean that you are not being watched. It is the same with hypochondria: a hypochondriac can really hurt, only a diagnostician is so-so: any disease is always a very dangerous, incurable and deadly disease. A headache is certainly a brain tumor, and a “helicopter” after a bottle of prosecco filled with tequila is the same; a cough - pneumonia or tuberculosis at best, but rather sarcoidosis (not googly that!); abdominal distention is not yesterday's sushi for shares, but rectal cancer, although it is possible that ovarian cancer is still.



At the same time, the main bugbear of the hypochondriac is a set of symptoms familiar to any adult working citizen of the megalopolis: fatigue increased fatigue, loss or, conversely, increased appetite, irritability, insomnia, and apathy. As a rule, the correct diagnosis, in this case, is “all diseases from nerves”, but the hypochondriac already knows for sure that he has cancer. Or aids. Or phlegmon all grandmother. This is nothing that other symptoms do not yet exist: here it’s written in Russian and white in the international classification of diseases of the tenth revision: it is lupus. Oh shit, also lupus!



You always know what tests you need.

After the hypochondriac deals with his diagnoses, he assigns himself a survey, and it is never a banal analysis of blood pressure: no, you can pass, it won't be worse, but what can you understand there? Deadly diseases are not so diagnosed! An MRI of the whole body is best. Well, or at least the brain. In contrast.



You often go to doctors

In fact, in order to knock out directions for these same surveys, because you cannot save enough money on them, this is one time, and you can also interpret the results of the surveys in Google, but for some reason, he does not give out recipes (what an omission! ). A deadly disease, of course, aspirin is not treated.



And now you go to the doctor, as if to work, which, in essence, is not bad: a clinical examination has not harmed anyone yet. The problem is that you panic when you do not find any terrible sores. After all, it means that ...



All doctors are incompetent.







You do know for sure that you have a terrible disease, you just have not yet met your doctor House. And those doctors whom you visited are simply incompetent: they carried out the examination incorrectly, interpreted the results incorrectly, simply did not know anything, because they paid bribes at the institute and did not encounter anything at work, more difficult than a head cold.



And now you are registering for an appointment with some luminary of science for big money, you torment yourself during a two-month wait, and when the luminary declares that you are healthy, you will be indignant: what can he understand! He also studied in those years when any disease by the imposition of cow cake was cured!






Do you like to talk about your health



And jokes about queues in polyclinics will not make you laugh: any information can save you from a terrible death in agony, so it’s better to tell everyone about your symptoms, and at the same time listen to other people - what if they have the same thing?



If nothing happens to the body, you listen to it.

Infinite self-diagnosis does not stop even when you can not google about the symptoms: your body and the source of important information itself is not to miss the main thing! And what is my stomach rumbling? And what is this behind my chest squeezes (heart attack!)? But this mole was not there before - is it really melanoma ?! If the body suddenly does not give any suspicious signals, you begin to listen to it even more actively, and - hobo! - here it is: nauseous and dizzy. In fact, this is psychosomatics: if you diligently look for a sign of illness in yourself, it will surely manifest itself - because you are nervous in search of an elusive sign.



You ignore symptoms that do not fit into the picture of a personal apocalypse.

All the symptoms that refute your "diagnosis" do not matter to you: so what, that hormones, according to the analyzes, normally - the face is swollen! Clearly - myxedema (and then coma and death)! These tests are simply wrong: she passed in the wrong laboratory, not on that day of the cycle, on the growing Moon - but does this matter important? At the same time, critical thinking changes you: the words of a highly qualified doctor do not matter (some kind of nonsense!), And a note from the newspaper Narodny Zakhar is taken for granted right away - because what is written about you!



You do have symptoms. Hypochondria

All that you read above are signs of hypochondria. And another thing: you are always scared about your health. Anxiety - your background state (we cannot write "normal", because it is not normal). You are suffering from your imaginary ill health for real because you do not believe that it is imaginary. And your conviction in this really prevents you from living.



And another thing: as mentioned above, hypochondria is a psychosomatic disorder. That is, it causes real failures in physiological mechanisms. You really hurt, ache, stab, itch, and so on. These are not appearances, but real symptoms. Only not what you think, but hypochondria. Which, by the way, is very easy to get rid of in a psychotherapist’s office.
