#hypochondriac

It’s so good. It's such a simple joke. But it's so funny. -Rider 

So effective. -Danielle 

To make a whole storyline just to get to this joke, which is what if your diagnosis is a hypochondriac with placebo pills. Oh my God. -Rider 

When I got to the placebos. When he yells at you, I lost it. -Will

Oh, I was dying. When he says, I have to take these for the rest of my life. -Danielle 

So you had to augment your very sense of self to remove piece by piece the things that scared you, letting go of the very base need for survival in the process. Imagine you made peace with death and things worse than it just so people wouldn’t have to be uncomfortable with your fear.

I keep this image open in a tab on my phone at all times to remind me to not idly google my symptoms while also getting a laugh about it

so now every time I open safari this is what I see first :)

Don't look up your symptoms! You know it'll only make you more nervous!

Do look up support forus for hypochondria and anxiety. You'll realize you aren't alone.

Don't excessively speak about your worries to others. It'll get you stuck in a feedback look of looking for reassurance.

Do talk to a mental health professional or journal how you feel! Don't just bottle it up.

Don't limit yourself because of your condition. You are strong and are more capable than you think.

Do give yourself breaks when you need them. Be kind to yourself, you're going through a challenging mental health struggle.

Don't sit with these feelings and do nothing with them. Bottling them up can lead to more anxiety.

Do find things you enjoy to distract yourself from your thoughts. Hobbies and sports can help you not think about it.

A hypochondriac

I think of you, blood pressure spikes

I'll have a heart attack

The things I do to see you smile
