I sometimes wonder if I am a hypochondriac as I frequently worry if I have illnesses. I'll experience some weird symptom like swollen lymph nodes and google it and then spend like 3 days worrying if I have lymphoma. Most instances are similar to that and I don't know if its hypochondria or just being extremely pre-cautious. Fortunately being Canadian I have free healthcare so generally my fears are short-lived as I can go to the doctor any time, but I still wonder.

Then again this is what lead me to consider that I had depression when I was a teenager. And now I'm wondering if I may have BP too. Is it better to be safe than sorry or am I a worry-wart?
