what are your thoughts on hypochondriacs?

[Dovahshit]

i read in this forum that a lot of people have been in contact with them but what do you guys really think about them?


i think as long as its in check i find them alright.

It's like any other anxiety disorder. The range of people who have it is highly varied. Were you thinking of something specifically?

 

[Positron]

People don't regularly have an opinion on hypochondriacs unless they have to personally deal with one.

 

[Zeorus]

Like Wallace said, it's a spectrum like any mental illness. It affects people in a number of different possible ways and can stem from a myriad of possible psychological issues.

A relative of mine had a real struggle with it during her teens. It was pretty crippling because it made her afraid to do anything in case she got sick or hurt.

Compare this with some of the fine individuals on this board who basically use it as a way to claim debilitating affliction for attention, and there you have it.

I had one for a roommate, once, and it was occasionally mildly annoying. He wasn't faking cancer or anything, though.

A family friend is a hypochondriac, also might have dementia soon.

Which cows do you think are hypochondriacs? Most of them are either collecting made-up diagnoses like badges of honor, or are just beset by non-specific pain and aches because they're out of shape.

I'm kinda biased here because all hypochondriacs I've been in contact with were lazy fucks who would obsess over every sore on their skin and gorge themselves on Red Bull and fast-food. And they wondered why they didn't feel well.

Those who eventually stopped jacking off all day and got an actual job experienced a significant drop in anxiety and their symptoms pretty much vanished. The others became Tumblr fags.

This one? She is such a fat junk-food chugger that it is almost given she has some genuine health problems. On top of that she is a manipulative attention whore.

Technically, this is facetious disorder/Munchausen's, not hypochondria.

 

[Dysnomia]

I've known people who say they are dying and so sick all the time but refuse to see a doctor because they don't want to sit in a waiting room. That's how you know it isn't serious. They refuse to do anything and seem perfectly functional when they aren't bitching. Sure some people hide their illness. But it's usually not with flip flopping between "I'm dying!" and "let's spend the whole day out!"

I would torture the doc anyway tbh. They are well paid to listen to bitching.

I'm too afraid to talk about it, given how close to home it can hit. I think my mother's side carries anxiety.

 

[cuddle striker]

as someone who does deal with them:

go to a real doctor, tell them you're a hypochondriac and it's interfering with your life, take the medications they give you and fucking follow through with therapy. your life will be better without the anxiety and everyone who has to deal with you will be happier to see you once you are handling the issue instead of letting it run rampant.
