How can I convince myself that I am healthy?
Photo is illustrative in nature. From open sources.

For the last two years I have been suffering from terrible hypochondria. I constantly think that I am sick with something incurable. If at first I myself climbed medical sites and looked for similar symptoms, now it happens automatically. I don't control it. Of course, I no longer go to these sites, but I remember the information from them, and if I have a tingle in my chest, I immediately attribute to myself the most terrible diagnosis.

A year ago, my eyes were very red, and before going to the ophthalmologist, I really believed that I would soon go blind, so realistically that I started looking for and copying down the addresses of rehabilitation clinics for the blind in my city on paper.

And all this is not from idleness! I have work, study, friends, there is always a lot to do, but when this “hypochondriacal hysteria” hits me, I simply fall out of life. The last straw literally fell for a month when I found “another soreness.” I just didn’t see the point in doing anything, why, I’m going to die soon. Plus, I can’t muster the strength to undergo a full examination, although test-antibiotic.com tried so many times, I even found clinics. But I don’t think it will help me, I have become too suspicious of doctors.

I understand that this is nonsense, psychosomatics and the Placebo effect, but when I’m in this state no one can convince medoctor that everything is fine. This happens somehow unconsciously. I sit and just listen to the body (and if you sit and wait, something somewhere will definitely tingle or ache) and I can’t stop, it’s like a vicious circle.
