i'm a hypochondriac, which means i'm very paranoid about my health. i keep thinking i have some disease and i examine every little thing going on all over my body (ex.minor pains).
my problem is no matter how many times i tell myself i'm not really sick, i keep getting reminded of diseases and that makes me all paranoid about it. like when i see a commercial about cancer or hear about stories on diseases it takes over my mind.
for anyone who has experienced these feelings before, or is a health expert who knows how to deal with this problem, i would very much appreciate your help. thank you
