What causes fear of diseases,fatigue and disorientation?
human
Hello I am 20 years old, turning 21, I eat well and exercise regularly and am generally healthy. Lately I've been feeling "disconnected" with everything, fatigued and tired, lightheaded, and slightly off balance. I'm also "foggy" in the mind, everything i say or do seems like an effort. My eyes sometimes feel tired. I just don't feel 'sharp' and 'vibrant' as I use to be and it bothers me. I've been having diarrhea and constipation throughout the past few months and some weird discomfort in my lower abdomen time to time. I do go to college so I did put on a few lbs. I did have a kidney stone a few months back so I don't know if It could be due to that. I  also have thoughts about people or myself dieing from diseases, it sometimes really brings me down and makes me anxious. I think that I do have a irrational fear of cancer and disease and I had a friend tell me that I'm a hypochondriac. I really want to get better though, I just don't know if it's a physical issue or mental one that I'm having.

DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely think you might be affected with a disorder named hypochondriasis. Hypochondriasis or hypochondria (sometimes referred to as health phobia or health anxiety) refers to excessive preoccupancy or worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an actual medical condition.The problem could have been arised out of the kidney stone you had, or the frequent stomach problem you had. The frequent stomach problem could be Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which is also related to anxiety upto some extent. Therefore, I suggest you to consult a clinical psychologist for further diagnosis and treatment.If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.Good luck.
