Hi, I have health anxiety (hypochondriac. And I keep on asking doctors for reassurance and I get scolding from most of the doctors and none of the doctors convince me properly. And the shameful part is I am a medical student. And I have spent lot of money on consultation and today also I tried but I dint have enough money this is very true and my anxiety story is getting hiv and hep c infection in the fish spa as I have been there. I know as a medical student it is not possible that this infections can spread by fish in the fish spa. But reading in internet made be anxious but even that article tells that infection is only possible if both clients bleed simultaneously in a small tank but in my case there was no person and no bleeding but then also I get the thought that fish may transmit but I know it's impossible but can't control my thoughts. These thoughts made me to take doctors advice even all docs told me that it is impossible. But this anxiety is not leaving me and I even went to counselling by psychiatrist and I'm taking fluoxetine tabs and I'm tired of medication. I know how people treat people like me some will make fun of me even my mother thinks it's a fake thing. I don't know for whom to tell and no one listens me. I need someone to motivate me because I'm very mentally weak person I can't concentrate on my work. My morning becomes horrible sometimes and I keep on pretending that I'm normal whole day. I know my bloody story will irritate any one but I belief that someone could help me and I'm sick of paying money for consultation I don't know what to do. I tested so long because I wanted to share my feelings. So I know help is not possible over a chat but I still had a hope that I will become like a normal person and live happily any small help if possible help me. I don't want to live this and I took free consultation because transaction is not happening. I know someone will help me. Sorry if I troubled anyone and I want to ask sorry for doctors for keep on asking for reassurance. I know it's a long text but it's all my inner feelings. Sorry.
