I'm only 22, and you'd think I'd have moreimportant things to worry about than the things that I do! Is anyonehere a *chronic* worrier? Anyone with hypochondria? Okay, so here meout...
I worry about everything. I mean everything. And it's gotten worse inthe last few months. However, when school starts in the fall, I was toobusy to worry and was mostly focused on school and having a little bitof fun. When winter break started on the 14th, I was excited. It turnedout to be a LIVING NIGHTMARE. I don't understand, and I'm so gladschool starts back Monday. Every single day, I have obsessed andworried.
First, I was worried about getting rabies from a psychotic mouse ofmine that came in contact with a wild mouse. After lots of obsessingand researching, the worry passed within a few days and is out of mymind.
A day later, I began to obsess about rabies again, this time because abarn cat that a customer had bitten me on the hand several months backand I had put it out of my mind. I worried, and obsessed. Then I readthat Louisiana hasn't had a human case of rabies since 1957. So, Ifinally got that out of my mind.
Then, I got on a kick when someone told me if I did yoga, I was goingto hell because it's not a Christian thing. Things get into my head tooeasily, and I obsessed about this. After lots of talking with friends,and some researching, I mostly got it out of my head.
NOW...My friend that worksat the pet store that I used towork atis married to a armyofficer and they've beentogether since she was about 14 or so. He's extremely controlling withher, threatens her, and even threatened my other friend who works therebecause she wanted to take her out to the movies and he said she wasn'tallowed. Well, she's giving me her box turtle tomorrow as a friend formy turtle Pokey. She called her husband and asked him, and told me hesaid it was fine. Great. MY concern is, for some weird reason, sometime from now I'm scared he'll decide he wants the turtle back and tryto come after me or something. He's threatening, and I've only met himonce or twice. He's one of those people you really just don't want tohave contact with, even though she's the greatest person you couldmeet. Anyways, I blow things out of porportion.Even though Ihighly doubt that'll happen, he's done agreed to her that he doesn'twant the turtle.
I just freak out about everything. I'm even second guessing that shegot his permission to give it away at all, even though I am positivethat she did. She's that type of person, one who is honest to a faultand when she says she did something, she did. And she's not the type todo something behind anyone's back, so Im sure she asked. I'm justlooking for worry anywhere I can find it...
Is anyone else like this? Tell me I'm not alone! When school startsback Monday, I plan on finding one of the school shrinks and startgoing. I need help and I realize this.
I took a online hypochondria test the other day, 3 of them actually,and two of them I scored at the very top and one was off the chart. AndI know I have it. I'm a germ-o-phobe, and right now I'm worried I haverabies from a mouse, hepatitis from accidentally drinking behindsomeone at school, and HIV because the guy where I used to work wasjust diagnosed with it. He sleeps around, and while I see him every nowand then, I've never actually touched him or anything.
If I have all these things at one time, somethings wrong here people! :craziness
