15 Thoughts That Hypochondriacs Have Too Often

If you're anything like me, you have a new disease every week. And having bad anxiety on top of that doesn't help at all. I'd like to consider myself the biggest hypochondriac in the world, but I'm sure there's a few of you out there who can relate. Here is just a glimpse of some of the thoughts that go through my head almost constantly (and maybe yours, too).

1. I have a headache.

2. Have I eaten anything yet today? Was it protein or junk food?

3. Yeah, I have definitely eaten pretty well today.

4. *Google's symptoms* .......Oh God. I have a brain tumor.

5. This is it. I'm dying.

6. I better start saying my goodbyes to my family and friends.

7. Maybe I'll go to the doctor's first to see if it's as bad as I think it is?

8. Calm down, it's literally just a simple headache. Everyone gets them.

9. *In the back of your mind* You're definitely not fine, you need to go see the doctor ASAP before it's too late.

10. Will I look dumb if I go to the doctors just for a headache?

11. Oh well, I don't care. My life is on the line here, people.

12. Actually, now I don't even notice a headache anymore. Must have not been anything serious after all!

13. *Next day*

14. Oh God... why does my stomach hurt all of a sudden?

15. Here we go again....


Although this is meant to be more of a comedic article, people who live like this to this severity are miserable a lot of the time. There's nothing more stressful than thinking you have a new disease every week, literally. To these people, it's not a joke. So next time we think we're dying, please bare with us and try to bring us back to reality.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
