Getting over hypochondria

Question

I am a major hypochondriac any time I feel sick I fear I am dying and if I hear someone I know has cancer I fear I will get it not from them but just sometime in my life . and i also freak out if anything on me hurts I totally freak .Like if I get a new mole I think its skin cancer .My thigh is aching and I feel its something serious .My family gets to the point where they stop listening to me complain because I complain so much how can I get over this without medicine or seeing a psychologist???

Answer 1

you need more distractions in your life to get your mind off of things

some fun, some excitement, some challenges, maybe a part time job,

a volunteer job, helping others can give you some satisfaction and make you feel appreciated

take care
