Hypochondria,Doctors,Depression
When i was around 26 years old,i went for a routine physical examination.
The doctor at that place said i had abnormal ekg etc.
Although he didnt resolve my fears and sent me to echo and other tests without calming my anxiety.
I was living alone and this was a disaster waiting for the test results.
I assumed i had heart issues and i had few days left on earth.
I take the blame ,but also blame the doctor to not talk to me till the results were out.
Even though the results assured me of good cardio vascular health,i would keep checking my BP at walmart and create all dooms day scenarios in head.
This has caused me to go into Major depression and i had to resort to medication.
I had stopped the meds after a year,but feelings of depression are still there.
I have a great family,job and life,but left with this psychiatric disability.
I dont wish this even on my worst enemy.
