I know somethings wrong with me because I just cant be this way normally. I always google heaps of different disorders and check if i have the symptoms. When I think I have a disorder I try talking to friends about it but when I do I just end up laughing about it like its something stupid thats not even true. But when im alone im positive that i have it. IIN?

    I often do this and then find myself in a pickle. I'll get arm pain, google it, see the words heart attack and then jump to conclusions. I'll then start pacing around my room and write out my will.

    what kind of disorders? i do that a lot for emotional/mental stuff cause I knew something was wrong, but not sure what. if you KNOW something is wrong but can't pinpoint it, then that might not be too abnormal. but, if you read about physical health problems and are anxious and convinced that you are everything you read, then you are a hypochondriac and need to see a professional to deal with it.

    You're a classic example of a hypochondriac.
