Although not constant,health anxiety is a reoccurring thing for me . At the moment it’s probably at a 7 out of ten level.
I’ve been worrying about cancer , with every odd little twinge I get.

I’m a fellow Hypochondriac also. Mine centers around worries about my heart.

I am a lazy hypochondriac - I am full of notions of ill health but am not motivated enough to do anything about them

Ps I think I hold a little bit of a death wish

That’s well put , and hits home for me. There’s so much advice out there that thinking about what to do becomes quite overwhelming for me , and inertia sets in .

I’m a recovering hypochondriac. I had a Dr who really helped me with the problem by testing me for everything that I thought I had. It really made me understand that it was anxiety and somatization. Now I can logic through it most of the time.
