Has anyone heard someone talk about a disease or a symptom they have and then you were so focuses on thinking you had it also that every symptom you have seems to be just what they do ?
Hello,
Absolutely. Anytime I hear or read of symptoms I tend to think of whether I have the same symptoms. That's why I try and stay off the Internet and not search diseases and things. People with anxiety like me tend to be hypochondriacs anyway and very sensitive to any aches and pains. I also tend to keep conversations very short with people such as you describe and turn the conversation to something else. I don't need the negativity.
