I'm obsessed by the thought that I've got multiple mental disorders. I trawl through the DSM-IV day after day and I've matched myself to about a dozen different disorders, convinced that they I've got them all (or at least have many of the symptoms). I'm constantly analysing my actions/words/behaviour, and will match them to being symptoms of a mental disorder, even though they're just common, normal things that everyone does (e.g. If I'm upset after a breakup, I'll be like "Omg, I've got abandonment issues. I must have Borderline Personality...." e.t.c. Even though almost EVERY GIRL of my age would be upset over a breakup).
I've been assessed my a professional psychiatrist who gave me a provisional diagnosis of a personality disorder (and even then, he wasn't really THAT convinced). I've had many doctors brush off my concerns, because I've made the same complaints to them (about my mental health) over and over again and time and time again they basically tell me that nothing is wrong and everything I'm feeling is normal.
I'm starting to think that perhaps the worst thing wrong with my mental health is simply Hyperchondria.....Is this possible?
