It never occurred to me that my 'It's a tumor' problem was secondary to depression or anxiety- probably because I stereo type what those things 'look' like.

I'm one of the lucky ones: 2 Aleve, and lying down with a blanket over my head (or in the dark) does the trick. Hope you feel better soon! simplyfelicity on "Confession: I always think it's a tumor.

I went to my therapist and it turns out that that is a VERY common symptom of anxiety. These things are self-fulfilling. Once I stopped thinking about my legs because I got busy, the sensation went away. The mind is so powerful! renee on "Confession: I always think it's a tumor.

Now I'm not afraid I'm constantly almost dying. I thought I had a different kind of cancer weekly, I swear. Perhaps see a physician about the headache, or a therapist? :) Good luck! It sucks feeling like you have some crazy disease all the time! lizzywiz on "Confession: I always think it's a tumor.

I guess I didn't have any unexpected ailments during that time, lol. It isn't too chronic (just because my health is usually a-ok), and I know it is ridiculous, which I why I don't tell anyone.....but now I will never have another headache without wondering if it is a 'sentinel headache' :shocked: Reese on "Confession: I always think it's a tumor.

That would be my only suggestion... Oh, and step away from Google.. :wink: lizzywiz on "Confession: I always think it's a tumor.

I should put this under mental health. I don't get headaches, but I have a terrible one. Made me sick to my stomach. With nothing more than that, my brain starts whispering, "It's a tumor. This is the beginning of the end." And then I google. Now I am torn between subarachnoid hemorrhage and a growth. I never go to the Dr. or talk to people about it. I just work myself into a secret frenzy. Why?WHYYYY do I do this? blerg.
