I'm 16 & all my life i have worried over something or another. i only remember one time that i have not been worried and then 5 minutes later i worry again. it is about my health more than anything. Lately i am worried about having a brain tumor. my mom asked a doctor about it and when she said i had a brain scan 2 years ago(i was getting dizzy so a consultant told me to have one) he said it would have shown up on that. i got over it then but a teacher was talking in class once about her brother who had a brain tumor and he was constanly thirsty and now about a week later i am thirsty constanly. i know deep down there is nothing wrong with me and the only reasin i am thirsty is probaley bacause she was talking about it. What can i do to make myself stop worrying?
Please help bacause i can't cope with it anymore and please don't tell me to have a brain scan because that is not an option (to long to explain)

Ever hear of Hypochondriac, see a shrink good possibility they could discuss your issues and offer some medical help. You've had a lot of stress for such a young age.

I think a psychologist would be a better start than a psychiatrist. Maybe you will need something to help you relax, but find out WHY you have been feeling this way. "In knowledge is great power", so true. If you understand yourself better, that alone can help you to feel better. Go from there, I'm sure everything will be okay. YOU will be okay.

These are the worries of a 60 year old spinster. Start doing things you enjoy, your only a 16 year old once. Don't waste your youth worrying about stuff you have no control over.

i dont think its your health, my mom always worries about many things at times, but then again she is a mother. but i think you should tell your mom to take you to a specialist and see whats wrong. maybe you were just ment to be the way you are for a good reason that could come in handy later on in your life.. my advice, go see a specialist that can help you.

maybe you can try doing something to forget or get the facts about it so you can realize that you don't have a tumor. If you want you can try starting a new hobbie, or sport, start going to the club w/ friends... you know? do something so that you can relax. if you have a really good friend (that knows how to massage) tell them to, and while they give you massage you can listen to music............
it works for me when I have problems so you should try it

Tell your mom that you need to see a psychiatrist they can prescribe some medicine to help you relax.
