What would you do if you were not afraid?
Anybody that has known me for a very long time knows that I am”self diagnosed hypochondriac”. Well for those of you that do not know what a hypochondriac is, it is a person that is very health conscious and often self diagnoses themselves. It is kind of a joke between me and my family. I will often call my mom up after school and start screaming “I HAVE A RASH ON MY ARM!IS IT SERIOUS!”I get nervous sometimes, but i guess everyone does. Web M.D is my best friend. On the weekend sometimes I will just browse over Web M.D learning about new diseases and ailments. I guess it has become sort of a hobby for me. I think I should consider going into the medical field because I probably will know all the diseases and stuff haha! Ok so back on track, I would say I am afraid of getting sick. Being sick is definitely not pleasant, but I am mostly concerned about bigger things. I think being worried about getting sick is good and bad. Its good because if I am not feeling well I like to go to the doctor sooner than later, and its bad because i stress about little things. So, if I was not afraid I probably would be more carefree and less anxious. Sometimes when I have a simple stomach ache I will stress about it. It also prevents me from doing things I might enjoy. For example, I was at my friends house and we were playing softball. She was pitching to me and i was hitting. She threw the ball really high and it hit me right on the top of my head. I got this huge bump, and I felt really dizzy. Of course i was afraid that I had a concussion or brain injury. I never played softball at a friends house again. Haha well what are you afraid of?
wow, this is extremely hilarious the funny thing is it sounds exaclty like you!

It is kind of funny, but I totally understand how you can be worried about things like this. It’s no fun being sick/seriously sick or hurt/seriously injured!
