thanks for your reply..

im just happy he did that because i was going to his city to study there

now i changed my choice ..

my dad talked to his dad and told him why he left but he didnt tell him about the problem it self
but he replied :" he is always like that embarrassing me thats why i never take him with me when i travel .." and he apologized

he was also messaging with my other cousing who hates me since i cant remember like i killed his mother or something

..can u imagine i took him with us (my family) on trip to another country and paid for everything

and when he left he sent me stuff  on my phone like " ur psycho u need to go to a doctor cuz u talk to me when i dont ask you "

i even doubt my self and when someone talking to me i ask to reply what they said

because of his damm joke

Oh, I re-read your post. I now see that you could mean your cousin has a mental illness? Glad his father said to excuse him, but hopefully, he also told your cousin what he did was pretty bad, and get him to see, he wouldn't like it if someone did that to him. Having a mental illness does not excuse behavior like that. Glad your brother stood up for you.

It sounds like you have support, thank heavens, given by sensible and caring people.

If you mean, will "jokes" like that will develop schizophrenia in you, no it won't. What it does do is not help you, especially with your hypochondria. I am terribly disappointed and very angry that your cousin, a mental health worker, did that to you. That is terribly cruel and not at all helpful. I hope he isn't teasing or playing pranks like that at his work with patients there, and if he is, I hope he gets disciplined soon, I wonder how many patients he harmed that way.

He sounds really immature and disrespectful. When I hear that, it is not a joke. It is a cruel act. There is nothing funny about it, and it's even worse that he did it several times. That is called torture in my book.

. Unfortunately, there are people out there like. I don't know what RituRoy said, since he was deleted, but I read your response, and the same thing must have happened.

Dear flowylow, if you can't find a therapist who understands hypochondria, talk to someone who cares about you as a person and ask them to help you build up your confidence, help you to be able to filter, and recognize things that aren't helpful to you. Someone who can help you develop ways to lessen how you react to medical conditions. It will also be helpful if you turn off the electronic device you are watching that. Hopefully, your job isn't in health care. It sounds like the hypochondria is pretty bad.

Even though it is hard to find a therapist out there who understands hypochondria, there must be a therapist who understands a vulnerable person and is at least, open enough to nurture, strengthen and empower you to lessen your fears.

Personally, I think nearly everyone has a bit of hypochondria in them to one degree or another, and all of us have anxieties and fears. Anxiety and fear is not necessary a bad thing for me. I like knowing when I am anxious, because it makes me aware that I am not in a good situation, but I can swiftly make a decision in less than a blink of an eye, to decide how to act and whether to ignore it or not. It isn't something that is natural for people to do that , and even animals, It is learned. People who deal with emergencies, disasters, and life threatening situations do that all the time. There is also a little "desensitiving" going on, especially, when you deal with situations like that all the time,

There is hope for you, flowylow. If your cousin was in the vicinity of me, I would definitely give him some very choice words and a lot of contempt for what he did to you. It's destructive and thoughtless, at the very least,

nvm guys my cousin were joking (he deals with mental illness) the only way made him happy way is making that jokes .. i talked to his father and he told me to excuse him ...

i told him many time i have hypo and he should stop it but he kept doing the stupid jokes like talking to me then when i reply he act like i didnt say anything

and he tells me everyday that i wake up at night and scream at him

he even told my brother to do the same joke but my brother told me about it


now im just anxious when somebody talks to me i tell them to reply what they said and my hearts beats so fast the whole time and my breathing is harder and im sad

cuz i was rlly nice with him and he did this to me ..

but i have a question .. : if somebody does this joke to you ..will it cause the illness ??

No way do you have schizoprenia. Sorry about the hypochondria.  It sort of takes a lot of happiness away.

Hey, I'm here but I don't know anything about your history. Doctors, meds, age? What's up? I've been living with severe anxiety since I can't remember. Not an easy way to live. Have you been diagnosed?
