Oh I know its just in my head. I've been this way for more than 20 years now. I go through periods of a few years where I am ok. Then suddenly become preoccupied about being ill, and its all down hill from there. Its how I was originally diagnosed with OCD. I obsess about illnesses. No matter how hard I try, and how much I try and be rational about it all, once I start on the path to believing I may be ill, I become completely convinced that I am ill in some way. Sounds crazy, I know. Its funny that I know I am this way, yet it still happens.
I have moment where I am too proud to take medications for it. But at times, such as now, I have to accept that I may need it.
