I am going through this right now. I am 19 years old and I should be out living my life, but instead I am worrying myself thinking exactly like you do. For me, something has triggered this. My nan was sick recently and I tend to put all other peoples ailments and sicknesses onto myself, and subconciously I believe I am getting those symptoms. Its such a hard thing to deal with and nobody can truly understand this feeling until they go through it. Its so easy for others to say "talk yourself out of it" etc etc. In a few weeks I have been booked to c a psychologist and I pray that she will help me. We know we arent literally sick though, don't we, its just SO HARD to think otherwise. I find watching movies, listening to music, going for walks and excersing helps me. Even taking a drive in my car helps, turn up the radio and just get away from it all, if you can drive ;) Wish you all the luck in the world with this, and please try not to worry, you will be ok. We can't predict the future, just have to live in the present and take it 1 day at a time. Whatever will be will be. One last thing, health is one thing we can't really control. Our body is smart and will do whatever it needs to do. Being sick is bad but in reality nobody likes it. One thing that helped me is to pretend a friend is worrying about sickness. What would you say to them? How would you help them and talk them out of it? You will get through this, its just all in our heads. Good luck xoxoxoxo
