anxious

I don't know how to describe this but I need help. I just cried like 5 minutes ago because of my worries about my health. I am scared about things. I dont know what to do or how to tell my mom but im just so freaking scared. I lost my dad to lung cancer 8 years ago and the thought of me ever getting cancer scares me. it drives me insane. when i was little i used to always think i would die at the age of 40 because thats when my dad passed away. i remember waking up in the middle of the night telling my mom please dont die. i have major problems, and fears. i am constantly thinking about what disease i might have at the moment. i was just recently dizzy 24.7 i had to get an mri done which showed nothing is wrong. now i have two swollen lymph nodes on my neck i am worried to death that its lymphoma or some other fatal problem. because if it was infection it would have been gone by now since i was just on antibiotics for it but they didnt and now i have to go back and get blood tests and im just so scared and tired and overwhelmed by all these emotions and feelings and i need help........... im only 18 but im already tired not only physically but mentally and emotionally i dont know what to do im a complete hypocondriac and im scared of doctors also ! plz no rude comments

I agree with Brently....

Look, a few years ago I felt scared to just walk out of my house. I cried all the time, I was scared of the slightest things or things that I made mistakes on. I felt the whole world was crumbling down around me.

I also thought I could handle it, but I couldn't.

I ended up seeing this really wonderful doctor, a psychologist. We made a plan together about what I wanted to accomplish with meeting with him. Heck, I even still see him to this day and I'm grateful for it. It's nice to go to someone and unload, to realize I'm not crazy - I just have some issues I need to work on.

AND I was scared to go to him. I have had doctors in the past that were not nice about these, quite nasty but I gave this doctor a chance and luckily it worked. If one doctor doesn't work for you, try another one.

See a psychologist and a psychiatrist   It is a must the first will listen and help you manage through the thinks in your head. The other will be able to give you a med that will help you. It sounds like you have your conditions sounds like a form of OCD. I have it as well as anxiety.  Luvox is a med that helped be with both.  Seek help. Don't give up.
