Hello voncloft: Well, yes, it sounds as though you have two primary things going on here. One, of course, is your hypochondria. The other, it sounds like, may be that you're becoming an alcoholic. It also sounds, from reading your introductory post, as though you also have some significant money management issues.)

I'm not a mental health professional. So I can't give you any professional advice. However, my personal opinion is that you cannot likely heal from this yourself. So my suggestion is... seek the services of a mental health therapist to work with on the issues that are driving your hypochondria & drinking. And then perhaps also consider becoming involved with some sort of alcohol treatment & support program. (Some money management assistance may not be a bad idea either.)

Many years ago, the Skeezyks was also a 29 year old male. I managed to deny, & leave untreated, my mental health issues literally for decades until it all began to unravel in my 50's. By then it was too late to do anything but learn to live with all of the damage I had done.

You can do this too if you choose. You can believe your problems really just aren't that bad & believe that you can figure this all out yourself. Who knows... maybe you'll be lucky & it will all actually work out for you. That could happen. Or in the alternative you can reach out now, in real life, for the help you need. Whichever approach you choose, please do not follow in my footsteps. They don't lead anywhere you want to go...
