My depression, especially mild depression which I think I'm developing again now, is often accompanied by anxiety. The anxiety is also often focused on my physical health. Basically, I become a hypochondriac during these times. I'm usually not, though.

You can't imagine how many grave illnesses I've at times thought I might have, but didn't. Heart problems, various types of cancer, MS, kidney failure, you name it. I've gone to various specialists in the past for minor issues that I blew up to be major ones, but usually they're nothing. I've even had diagnoses for physical issues that I now think may not have been true.

Has this ever been an issue for anyone else?
