Tongue Pimples

Am I losing it???

I'm constantly thinking something is wrong with me reading about diseases and I think I have this or that but I don't and it's very hard to convince myself otherwise. This all started about 6 months ago I quit chewin skoal and thought I had mouth cancer and the dentist laughed, I was good til last month had a panic attack thought it was a heart attack, saw lie bumps on my tongue few weeks ago thought I had tongue cancer, and recently broke a bad habit of applyin pressure on my glands and now one side of my neck looks dented in but it may repair on it's own and luckily I have phsyical this week and I been gettin pains in my groin area almost near my nuts and I am convinced I have testi cancer and my father who happens to be my best friend as well keeps on tellin me to relax and I keep lookin for little things. It really upset me that my sister said she's starting to questoin my mental stability would u say I need help??? I know what you all mean I do have a problem and it does worry me if I'm depression bound but I don't know why I'd be depressed ya know its weird how your mind can play tricks on you its a powerful thing like this morning lol I was brushing my teeth and my mouth was bleeding and i was like what the fuck??? Then checked online for oral cancer symptoms freaked out again and I stopped and thought about it. I didn't chew tobacco very long and I wasn't a heavy smoker and I quit chew last year and smoking, usually people that dip a can a day at age 39 are healthy no cancer nothing and I'm only 23!!! I think I have way too much time on my hands I think.

2. Hypochondiac. See a doctor, see what they suggest.
3. no you dont need help, your mind is just playing tricks on you. you mind is a very powerful thing. it can make you see/ think stuff that isnt real. i honestly do that all the time aswell! stop thinking that something is wrong with you because if you keep thinking negative and are in that mind set something is gunna go wrong. you have to be positive. your perfectly fine! but if you truly are worried go to the doctors
4. I would say that for some reason you are projecting your fears into this fear you have of diseases. You are not insane, it is quite normal for people to have their fears manifest in different ways that are completely different to the original problem. Talk to someone.
5. it's called hypocondria and it is no joke. you need to see your physician and tell him everything on your mind. when they say your fine, they know it.
6. adsnell2 is right. its hypochondria and it is no joke. you should see somebody. There is absolutely no shame in it. Go see a psychiatrist, they are medical doctors and deal with this stuff all the time. It is what they do. These types of things can get worse, to the point where they are debilitating, if you don't take care of them. You'll be OK, as long as you take care of it. Shoot me a message through yahoo answers if you need to chat.
7. Most of the answerers on your question gave good advices and yes, other answerers do really hit the spot. It is good to be a very health-conscious guy. Most of us don't want to be sick because we cannot do things we want to do. So, the best way to stop thinking of those illnesses is to live a healthy life e.g. exercise daily, drink plenty of water, eat fruits and vegetables, enjoy life (play sports, play video games =), study your lessons) and you will forget all the negative things in your head. Accomplish a goal my friend! When you are happy, your body is also happy! So keep the smile on your face and enjoy life!
