[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had severe health anxiety that pops up every few years for the last 25 years. Mine are things I can catasrophise such as cancer, heart, liver, brain or kidney issues. I’ve got zero germophobia or issues about colds/flu etc.

After our son moved off to college and we became empty nesters I finally had time to take on the problem. I started seeing a psychiatrist and its helped a lot.  My psych thinks its because I grew up in an alcaholic and physically violent household. [/quote]

Are you on any meds? I’m op and my dh is already on setraline. He thinks he’s fine but every doctors visit- and they are pretty much weekly- is cause for major concern and follow up. When one issue is resolved - I don’t have cancer- he moves on to the next. Any test result that comes back as even mildly imperfect is immediately viewed as ‘high risk’. And forget dental work-  same thing.

Interestingly, he’s also not really a Germaphobe. But it does transfer over the other areas. I bought a Weber grill one year for our vacation home. We use a bbq/grill maybe 5 times a year. Dh got hysterical. Charred meat = cancer [/quote]
