I have always been a worrier, but lately its really getting out of hand.
I am a hypochondriac, always googling symptons, convinced I am dying of whatever desease it is at the time.
I recently had/have a bad tooth infection which inflammed my jaw and was hard to open it up and was swollen. I had to have shots of antibiotics and been on Antibiotics for a while to get rid of the infection. Monday they finally were able to get in my mouth enough to extract the infected molar at the oral surgeons under general anthesesia. Everything is getting better slowly but it is getting better. But I am still convinced I am dying from the infection. That my jaw will never be normal again that I won't ever be able to open my mouth all the way. Etc.
I wake up with death on my mind, go to bed with death on my mind.
This is not normal.
Sure you CAN die from tooth infection, but you CAN die from walking down the street getting run over by a car, and you CAN die from being at the wrong place at the wrong time. ETC
I just don't get why I am so obsessed with anything that CAN kill you. It is ruining my life. I am not enjoying it much right now.
Ever since my Mom was sick with cancer 3 yrs ago, I have been obsessed about anything that CAN kill you.
I am driving my poor husband crazy, because it is litterly a 24/7 thing.
I feel alone sometimes. Like I am crazy.
I feel like I am WASTING my life away by obsessing about something that is not in my control.

Have you ever gone to a therapist? Maybe cognitive behavioral therapy would be helpful for you. There is help out there you don't have to live like this.
