I have been having these aches and pains a lot lately, as well as stuff like loss of breath (Or at least the illusion of) fast heart beating, a weak feeling in my body, and just this morning I felt pain in the lower region of my tummy, and I'm worried it's because I got diabetes from this ridiculously sweet chocolate cake. But as usual, my parents keep telling me that there is NOTHING wrong with me, and that I just worry too much. This all started one day when I cooked a pancake wrong and then I remembered an episode of Hells Kitchen where a guy prepares a dish that could potentially KILL someone, and thought I would die from the pancake. And that was about a year ago, but after a month or so, my Hypochondria went away. ...But came back after some side effects from some medication I was taking(Risperidone). And now I can't stop worrying about everything that happens to me. My parents tell me to stop worrying, but it's a task easier said than done for me.
I'm not sure how exactly anyone here can help, but I just wanted to ask here for some pointers on how to cope with Hypochondria.
