30 Y.O GUY THINKS EVERY STOMACH ACHE = CANCER, DIZZY = HEART ATK, HEADACHE = TUMOR

Irrational thoughts of death at 30. Do you guys experience the same?

Idk if it’s a culmination of stress or the exposure to media on how someone can randomly die on the street or healthy one day and cancer the next but these irrational fear of deaths have been recurring and it’s crippling my every day.

I now tend to notice every single discomfort in my body. And I’ll associate it to something more severe. A headache = tumour in my brain. A stomach ache = stomach cancer. Giddiness = a heart attack is impending. Once it starts, it’ll last throughout the day which fuels my stress and anxiety and my symptoms became more present than it actually is. Especially when I’m out the start of the “attack” will immediately cause my entire day to turn bad. Doesn’t help that I’ll google the symptoms and the results returned willl always be on the extreme end.

Yes I’ve been to the doctors and they say it’s stress induced but I can’t seem to get away from it. Or to reduce it. They say exercise is good as it releases happy hormones but when I ran I get out of breath and the whole “oh Shit I’ll die soon” will start kicking in all over.

And it’s crippling cause while I’m making plans with my fiancé and family / friends etc, instead of looking forward to a certain event, the first thing that comes to my mind is “Will I live long enough to see that day?” Which is strange and odd cause I’m only 30 and I can’t express my happiness well.

Anyone felt this way before and if so how did you break that feedback loop? 🙁

Netizens’ comments

  1. Sounds like an anxiety disorder tbh. Hypochondria. Health anxiety.
  2. Are you afraid of death? Or what happens to your family when you are gone?
    If you are afraid for your family or dependents then ensure they have everything they need IF ever you were suddenly meet your end. So for me personally have my life insurances, hospital insurances etc. all in place.
    If anything does happen, my family will be taken care of.
    If you are afraid of death itself then you need to understand we all have an expiry. Once you learn to accept it then u can learn to live your life in the moment instead of worrying about the future etc.
    We can never foresee our future so might as well stop with the ‘What Ifs?’
  3. Precisely this is the reason why you should live your life happier. You’ll never know when you’ll drop dead. Stop comparing lives, start to appreciate what you already have. Also, you may want to do annual check ups to just make sure nothing sinister is happening to your body. If found out earlier, earlier treatment or control is better too. Yes, have those insurance to back your loved ones up too.
