View Full Version : Are you a hypochondriac?

Do you worry unnecessarily that you might be ill or sick?

Do you find yourself going to the doctor quite often?

Do you take a load of pills to 'stay healthy'?

Would you say you have a mini-pharmacy at home full of ointments, tablets, vitamins and other medication you tend to keep 'just in case'?

Here's a test you can take for fun...

I don't think I'm a hypochondriac at all, but I won't take any chances when my kids get sick..

I know someone who is though and she drives me insane. There's always something wrong with her, or so she thinks. I think it can really effect someone's life in a way that they would stay back from many things because they are "risky" to their health.

It's a somatization disorder which does respond to antidepressant drugs

So family & friends should be supportive to those suffering from it & help them get a psychiatric assessment

I feel sure I'm a hypocondriac, I just KNOW I am. Nobody believes me but I can just TELL...

It's gonna kill me I'm sure, unless I can get my hands on them little green hypocondriac pills...

You Are 28% Hypochondriac
You can deal well with being sick - even if your symptoms are a little scary.
You're occasionally prone to worry about your health, but only when you have pretty strange symptoms.


I always thought I am worse than that, its good to hear I got only 28% :)

A saner soul never lived.

No girl can be entirely sane without worrying a BIT about her health.

You stated that, I never said you've got it

Don't blame me now :rn:

I myself do get worried sometimes, a couple of days ago blood spilt all over my fingers, what is the risk of getting HIV or Hepatitis C from that exposure? It's minimal nor nonexistent if my skin is intact, but I got very worried

That happens to me whenever I'm in a hurry & ignore the gloves

I'd only worry if I get strong pain that is 'unexplainable'. Or a lump under the skin. It's the fear of not knowing that gets me mostly. But, if I have a muscle ache, a sprained foot, a headache, a cold or whatever, I usually play it down, not up. I only take medication if I drastically need it and for this reason, I'm rubbish at taking tablets on time every day.

That's not hypo-C; that's just sense. People forget that doctor = patient = exposure to disease. I'm grateful to all you guys.

Doctors are the strongest people around. They're immune to most deseases that will have me and you in bed for a week or two.

While your physical health isn't always perfect, you don't freak out about it.
You know there's only so much you can do, and worrying doesn't change anything.
