I am 12 years old. Over the summer I was a health obsessed freak and any throat ace would suddenly become a life threatening thing. I would actually search the computer for my symptoms. I guess you could say I was a hyrochondriac. Anyways on day I took this Yahoo!Health depression test for fun. Two days later when my throat was acting up again I got this one thought saying, "this is too much". Ifreaked out and litterally could feel my mind transitioning from health freak to mental health freak. I thought that I was depressed. So everything that happened when I was pysical health crazy is happening now. Except now it feels like one part of my mind thinks I'm going to suicide, and I know that I'm not but it's driving me crazy. It's like part of my mind is so preoccupied with it. I can't seem to completely move on from it. Sometimes I can snap out, but then once I start thinking about it I snap back in. It's really driving me crazy how much part of my mind seems to hate me.

Have you told your parents? Maybe you need to see someone.

Can you speak to your parents about this? If not, is there another adult that you trust and are close to that you can talk to?
Don't think that you are alone with these type of feelings. Most people experience feelings that seem "odd" at one time in their lives. Sometimes the feelings pass. I have always been a bit of a hypocondriac myself (and I have OCD which makes me KEEP thinking about stuff). I was put on a very small dose of antidepressant meds and I feel better now. Sometimes our brains get out of balance (there are all kinds of hormones, nuerotransmitters, etc ...) in there. But thank goodness, today we have meds that can help (if that is indeed the case). Most important thing I think right now is to speak to an adult about the way you are feeling so that they might get professional help for you to speak with. Hang in there!

Your not depressed....trust me...I have to a Doc for my depression.....
But....you may have a slight case of anxiety....I have that too....
You may want to see a doctor....But I think you are too young to be put on a pill.....& you will be if you see a Doc....A good way to calm your brain....is to take Viatimane B12 or V b6......
for my anxiety.....I have major attacks, so I take B 50 & B 100...
You are too young to be worried about health issues....Go to the mall & talk about boys. But try my advice & take B12 for about 2 weeks (1 a day is all you need)

Definitely go to a doctor, what if this throat condition is viral. Viral conditions can cause changes in your chemical makeup and make you think irrationally. I don't think you're a hypochondriac since it sounds like you haven't told your parents and most hypochondriacs are just out to get attention.

You need counseling before you harm yourself or someone else
