Hi
It's been a while since I last posted here - the main reason being that my PRPLC is still lying at the side of my bed. I got to tape 3 about 6 months ago and haven't looked at it since. But I will sometime soon!
Anyway, that's not what I'm writing about. I was wondering if any of you had any tips on how to battle hypochondria? In the past few years, I've "had" several life threatening illnesses, such as meningitis and cancer but having been to my doctor, they can find nothing out of the ordinary. As an example, a month ago I spent the whole afternoon in casualty because I suspected that there was something wrong with my heart. I had an ECG test, blood pressure test, blood test and a chest x-ray, and everything came back clear. This morning, I went to the doctor again because I suspected that I may have some form of lung cancer - I had many of the symptoms of it - but again the doctor says that everything seems normal.
I came to the conclusion several months ago that my problems are not physiological, but psychological. I am a hypochondriac. And it's kinda making my life a little difficult.
Can anyone offer advice? I would be grateful.
As an aside, I have been considering buying the SFQG course lately. What exactly does it entail?
Thanks
