cant stop thinking i have a life threatening disease

[djpete]

well i dont know where to start,the slightest pain or lump anywhere in my body and i think im going to die,i dont know why i feel like this
up until i moved from england to another country after about 6 months of being here i started to get this feeling
it started 2 years ago and i have been living with it since.
at first i had lots of visits to hospitals with tummy pain back pain loads of test done but in 2 years i have never been diagnosed with anything.
my poor wife must be feed up with me by now.
the latest thing is i think i have hiv from a very low risk encounter
but have had 2 test one at 4 weeks and the other at 10 both negative but i still feel sick
what is going on in my head
any help would be nice

I have had the same thoughts what I call very unwanted thoughts though I seem to have these when I go hypo with my thyroid as depression and anxiety kicks in then those horrible thoughts I cant get rid of! I had them so bad two yrs ago  I actually started to make myself sick I had every symptom of every terminal diease and when I googled my symptoms it made it worse! I got better with meds and then I havebeen hypo again so I too dealing again with this horrible thoughts.  I worry that they say what you think about we bring to us and I certainly hope I did not bring such bad things to me by these horrible things.. again never ending hah!! Well I know  your pain hang in there  I hope all gets better for you soon =)

i was diagnosed with gad after experiencing lots of weard symptoms also,,i admit,i was stressed out to the max with 2 new babys and loss of my father,,but i dont know if i realy much believe in this conclusion.
ya,i had back pain,lightheadedness,tingly feelings in different parts of my body for no reason,sleep alot,stuff like that,,,but i STILL THINK ITS SOMETHING ELCE!
i had lots of tests done also,,mri on my brain,ct scans,blood work,everything,but i strongly think that when doctors cannot find the REAL reason,they blame everything on stress.anxiety....or something like fibromyalgia!!!
BLAH..dont belive it,they all just want to keep you medecated,and mask your symptoms instead of doing there jobs and finding out whats realy wrong with you!!!!

You are experiencing the classic case of Anxiety.
Sounds like you have Gad "general Anxiety Disorder" which means you are constantly worried about trivial matters.
The main thing people with anxiety do is become Hypochondriacs, because anxiety can cause EVERYTHING, and it is easier for us to accept the thought of a physical problem, compared to a mental problem for some reason.
Are you on any medicine or do you talk to anyone about this?
The best first step I would say is to accept what the Drs found "or should I say didnt find" and be happy there isnt anything wrong with you physically.
Then you can start attacking the and conquering the mental.
What country did you move to?
