My mom actually said to me last night (after I asked her if I needed to go the ER because I was having chest pains), "Lauren, lately you've become a bit of a hypochondriac. Stop diagnosing yourself!"

I probably need to discuss this further with my therapist. While I'm aware of somatic symptom disorder and its implications, I'm really worried I'm going to have a heart attack. I also think I might have asthma. And possibly a blood clot in my brain....ughh....
