Im feeling like I am going crazy!?!

Question: Im feeling like I am going crazy!?

So im 17 and ever since I was in the 8th grade i have had an extreme fear or dying or having a horrible disease. It ranges from me having stomach aches, to me getting headaches, to me feeling dizzy, to me thinking my belly button is infected. My heart races, I feel lightheaded out of nowhere sometimes just get really hot or cold. I worry about everything. I am constantly going to a doctor, constantly wanting answers always thinking something is wrong. How can I just calm down? I have another doctor appointment on Wednesday. Any advice on what i should do? I am CONSTANTLY looking up symptoms online thinking I have some serious disease. Keep in mind i'm only 17 years old. HELP.

Answers:

Try finding a registered naturpathic doctor, they know MUCH more about how to help you, and look past the symptoms and deal with the underlying cause, instead of just telling you that you are overreacting and it's all in your head.

Most likely you have some hormonal imbalances, possible problems with your adrenals or thyroid. I have been to many doctors too, and they tell me that I'm just being a hypochondriac.. but I am not crazy, and I know you aren't either. Get help from someone that will actually listen to you, and treat you as a whole.

Good luck. If you want, you can email me about anything, I'll be happy to help.

It certainly sounds like you have developed an anxiety disorder. Not uncommon but very uncomfortable to live with. This can be treated with medication and , in fairly bad cases which sounds like you would qualify for, it needs talk therapy. When you see your doctor be sure to explain what you have stated above. He/she needs to know how frequent and persistent this problem is. You are not going crazy. You are just in the company of many other people who are dealing with this same problem.

you are going crazy. sorry :( but you can fix it by just ignoring it, and just keep in mind that im 12 and i have those symptoms all the time

You can calm down, because we can all feel like that sometimes... Just try to get over it by going out more often and not thinking of those stuff...

well my step mom had the ame problem except what caused her to have suck extreme anxiety problems was she was hit by a car
so im not sure what star5ted you to have this growing fear but you do need to see the doctor and tell them all this
you need anti anxiety pills , they will help calm you down
you are causing these probles for yourself
if you feel you have something tyhen your body will teick you into having symtoms
like if a girl feared she was pregnent , she would worry which would cause her period to be late
she can actually be worried into thinking she is sick and stuff like that
so just calm down go to the doctor and rather than telling them you think your going to die tell them your always scared of this stuff they can calm you down
hope i helped ! (:
