I have a friend that's a hypercondreact. If you tell him wow are you ok he'll say what are you talking about then he'll start to feel sick and say oh i think i need to go home. he's a blast to mess with. .. so yes i believe it has to do alot with the mind

Happiness is a state of mind. If we keep the mind empty, then all sorts of sickness real or imaginary will enter to disturb us. Get a physical check up and take medicines if needed and lead a healthy life.

No it isn't all in your mind regardless of what people might think. I have been extremely sick most of the time since I was 11 years old but the doctor checked me for anemia and stuff and said I was just depressed and probably a hypochondriac so I believed him and never told anyone about my new symptoms and just brushed them off until I was 16 my mom saw some things happen to me and could tell I was in serious pain she took me to the doctor again they did a colonoscopy and just cut out a polyp said I was fine then and was just depressed then I got to the point where I couldn't walk and chest pain a bunch of other stuff infections all of the time. I was finally diagnosed with MS and Lupus I am still sick all of the time and I get worse every year. They are finding out that a lot of people that were diagnosed with hypochondria do in fact have something wrong with them and these things are just hard to diagnose.

it's a possibility.

the only thing that is causing this is being a hypochondriac.

Well, your defenatly not dead... yet!

There are people with serious medical illnesses that feel sick much of the time. There are also people who get sick a lot due to high stress. They are truly ill as well although for a different reason. Learning to manage their stress would help them a lot. Then there are people who get symptoms of illness to avoid situations. To these people their pain is real. They need to learn better coping skills for life.

i feel sick all the time, incapable of eating due to feeling sick, its a vicious circle that never ends due to anxiety, Im fine when im settled and my mind is busy, when things slow down and i have time to think, i work myself up in to such a state that i am actually ill. Its terrifying and the sickness feels real to me. I feel sick in situations i no it would be inappropriate to be ill or inappropriate to get away from...and so i feel sick. When im settled and content i very rarely get ill.

I donno if this posted or not so I'm writing it again..lol. Anywase I feel sick every day. Like I will fee so tired I can't get anythign doen. I have to really fight with myself. I don't have a family doctor and have been trying but can't get one. So we only have walk ins that aren't that great or emergency rooms. It sucks. I never know when to worry or when im ust worrying. I feel so many physical symptoms it's hard for me to truly beleive it's in my head. I have radical mood swings. Behavioural changes. I get bad tension headaches, i have to figit all the time almost liek they are tics, my mcles are always clenched, i have accelerated heart rate alot, alot of anxiety. Nausea, dizziness, but so far teh fatigue is what is the most extreme. I'm scared all the tiem to the point where I barley have a life. The quality of my life is drained it makes me severley depressed sometimes. I'm only 21, and I'm just trying to get doen my schoolign and rasise my 14 month odl daughter. I can do that really well when all thsi crap doesn't get in my way. I just don't want to fight it anymore every single day.... I saw a councellor but she didn't seem to know how to help yet. I don't know where to go.

I totally agree that it isn't all just in your head... i battle constant tiredness achy pains nausea headaches and many other symptoms on almost a daily basis i get strange illnesses all of the time i even just found out i have an underactive thyroid. i've had mono and many other sicknesses and because it's so often people may think its just something in your head but when you actually feel these things on a daily basis you would feel differently its not like these people want to feel this way and not all hypochondriacs and just because you feel these things doesnt mean you are unhappy for example i am very happy but this is just something some people truly struggle with

I read what "anonymous" said about feeling sick all of the time, and I'm experiencing basically the same thing. I've seen several doctors and therapists about it over the past couple years that I've been dealing with it and they've all insisted it is directly connected to stress. Because I'm so stressed out, I get anxious about the work, and my stomach has become my weak spot where I feel my anxiety and it transfers into feeling sick. Since I feel sick so often, I can't differentiate between really being ill or feeling ill because of being anxious and I get nervous about getting sick in places where it would be rather unfortunate. This has transferred over time into getting anxious about getting anxious and feeling sick at important events that are coming up. It's so extreme that I've become much less social and I no longer know how to calm myself down because it's so overwhelming.

I got sick all the time and was told it was just stress, and after years of being told this i started to wonder if that was really all it was. I switched doctors, and told my new doctor the symptoms i was having, and she had my blood tested. It turned out i had celiacs disease, which means your body reacts poorly to gluten, and when you eat any food containing gluten, your body attacks your intestine. All of my symptoms finally made sense, and i am finally on the road to recovery. I hold strongly to the belief that no one knows your body better than you, and if you feel somethings not right, stick to your guns.

I feel sick all the time to, and have been to the doctors on many occasions. Iv had blood tests done and many other things checked out. Everyone seems to think im paranoid although they do not realise how uncomfy it is to constantly have a sick feeling. its been going on for around 2 years, althouhg i have never actially been sick. 2 years ago i had a major vomitting bug and since then i have not felt right. im going back to the doctors to hopefully get some help. Try motillium 10 tablets, they save me

I really know how you feel infact I feel like that right now i'm only 14, and my mother's constantly teling me it's all in my head and tbh most the time she's right, hope this has heped you :)

It can be many different things. You need to have a full physical exam to find out what is wrong. Keep looking for a family doctor and in the meantime, exercise, eat a healthy diet and meditate or do other things to help you relax. Is there someone who can watch your daughter so you can get a break once in a while?
