Answers:

Sounds to me like you may have hypochondria. I'm no doctor, but I had it SEVERELY for 9 months - I was bedridden, convinced I was sick. I actually had symptoms. Finally, I came out of it on my own, getting a little bit of a social life and my first job (I was 17). I talked to my doctor later about it when I was diagnosed with other things, and he said I probably had a mild case of hypochondria. Go to a therapist. They probably have better solutions.
