I have been anxious for almost ten years and have been hypochondriatic for seven or eight years.
I only felt timid before, but later I realized the word "anxiety". I heard from my colleagues two years ago that I also knew " hypochondria ". It turns out that I have a problem with this.
1. Anxiety
I have been a kid and I am tall and tall. I am a tomboy. Since I got married and got pregnant, I have become more anxious.
1. Pregnancy anxiety
After becoming pregnant in 2013, I checked online dietary taboos and pregnancy reactions every day. I joined the popular "Mom Gang" and "Bao Shu" parenting forums at that time. I read posts every day, but later I saw many unexpected events in the forum, including fetal discontinuation, amniotic fluid thrombosis, etc., which scared me so much that I didn't dare to go online later, and I was afraid that I would encounter them.
Every time I go to the prenatal examination, I always ask my husband to accompany me. I know it should be fine, but I went to the hospital and was nervous and scared. It was not relieved until the examination was completed.
2. Parenting anxiety
Now two children are uncomfortable, especially when they have fever, I know they will get better in a few days, but during the fever, I feel worried, especially when Dabao was a child, he had high fever and convulsions, but now he is old.
But I am still very anxious. As long as the child does not reduce his fever, I will take my child's body temperature five or six times in the middle of the night. Instead, it is a mercury thermometer, which is like five minutes at a time, for fear that the forehead thermometer is not measured accurately.
2. Hypoxia
Starting in 2015, Dabao was also weaned and returned to his parents' home during the National Day holiday. Once I had diarrhea, and later I got better after taking the medicine. After another day or two, I suddenly felt a friction in my upper abdomen when I was breathing.
This friction feeling started my journey of hypochondriasis.
searched various abdominal friction on the Internet. Later, I went to Niangjia County Hospital for a look. The doctor thought it might have caught a cold and took some cold medicine.
Later, I went back to Shanghai to work and went to several major hospitals in Shanghai to check for lung CT, bronchial and gastroscopy. I took leave and went to the hospital many times. There were many people in the Shanghai hospital every time, and I queued for an hour or two. Every time, I found the department I found according to the suspected part.
Afterwards, the examination was not found, and it cost several thousand yuan. The friction in my abdomen was still there, and the hypochondriasis had not been relieved. I went to the full physical examination center, which cost more than a thousand yuan, and the physical examination was fine.
In the past few years, as long as I doubt where there is a problem, the symptoms will be particularly obvious.
For example, when I suspected that there was a stomach problem, stomachache several times, and I was worried about whether there was something, and I was afraid of going for a checkup. Later, two years later, I couldn't hold back and I had another gastroscopy. The test result was no problem and I didn't need to take medicine.
Later, my aunt was having a chest pain during her period and was afraid that there would be any problems with breast . She checked the Internet and could check it by herself. She pressed it for more than ten or twenty times a day. She felt that it should be fine, but she was worried. She was anxious for more than a month before going to the hospital for examination, and the result was no problem.
Later, I had various examinations, gynecological examinations, and colonoscopy also. Before I had colonoscopy, I often had anal fissures and doubted whether I had hemorrhoids . I had been suspicious for more than a year, and I had nothing to do after colonoscopy, so I was not anxious about the intestines.
But I was anxious recently and felt a little uncomfortable. I had been anxious for more than a month and checked vocal cords and thyroid , and there was no problem. When I suspected my thyroid gland, I touched my neck every day, raised my head to look at the mirror, and swallowed it all the time. In fact, I judged that I should be fine, but I was just worried, and my neck hurts a little every day.
I finally mustered up the courage to go to the hospital for examination yesterday. There was no problem with color ultrasound and blood test. I finally don’t have to touch my neck every day and take off my saliva in the mirror every day. When I meet others every day, I look at my neck.
3. How to relieve
Actually, I realized that I had made progress when I was anxious and suspected. Many times, I still scare myself and don’t understand the relevant knowledge, and I am even more afraid of those who search online.
1. Learn more
Many times, only when we have only a little understanding of the disease can we not understand judgment, fear of having problems, fear of going to the hospital, and fear of finding bad results. Learn more and learn more, reduce anxiety.
2. If you are worried, go to the hospital for
to check, and you will not be suspected of being sick. If you have any problems, you will be treated early. I haven't done this myself.
An elder said that I often feel hypochondriasis, and then go to the examination and rule out, which will make me feel at ease, and it is also a kind of self-protection.
3. Think about
In life, everyone has their own mission and determination. Thinking of this way, it is a day to be afraid, and it is a day to not be afraid. We must pay attention to the process of living and happiness.
Recently, my anxiety disorder has been alleviated, and I hope it will be helpful to friends who are equally confused.
