I have been having thoughts over the past year that people are hiding from me that I am sick, or dying, even though I feel fine generally. Also, I am a hypochondriac. I get more anxious at night, and sometimes I will stay up all night because I keep having the thoughts over and over that people are hiding something they know about me. When I have an appointment with a doctor, or talk with a family member, I seem to read a lot into what they are saying, and I believe they mean other things, even though I know this is irrational. Am I going crazy or something? I just can't shake the thoughts out of my head. When my therapist talked about setting a goal, I was thinking that she wanted me to have a goal because I was dying, even though I know this was irrational to think.
Should I tell my psychiatrist my thoughts? I don't know if I should because he seems to be a little judgemental. He might think I am delusional. But are my thoughts neurotic or psychotic or what?

you ARE indeed paranoid, and a hypochondriac, and you had better tell your psychiatrist or he can't help you. You waste your time and his if you don't tell him everything pertinent to the state of your mental health, and this is certainly pertinent.

Ummmm I don't really know. I know most people don't beleive in phychics and I'm not sure if I really do either. But I have like daydreams at school about like a certain episode of a show I will watch when I get home. Then I watch that show and its the episode I day dreamed about. Also I had a dream about a level on a game I had never played. The next day I borrowed a game from my cuz and I got to the lv in my dream. Does this mean I'm physic?

Definitely share these thoughts with your therapist. Maybe then he can direct your therapy in another direction to aid and assist you. Also be aware, the therapist and your medical doctors cannot share information about you or your health without your permission unless you are a minor and even then it is questionable. So there is nothing to worry about that they know you are dying. Good luck

You're neurotic and more than a little obsessed. I'm not sure about delusional. Do you have a family history of cancer or heart disease or other illnesses that are known to run in families? Maybe this is why you're preoccupied with it.

Yes. Because if it is indeed your doctor, then your doctor has a right to tell you whatever you want about your health. your parents and friends can lie to you and cheat you, but your doctor has a responsibility to you, as his/her patient to be honest, and not hide anything from you, even if it means telling you your going to die.
You need to relax some.. Take it easy. No one is out to harm you. you should definitely talk to someone about your feelings, and someone more important than your shrink... someone that matters to you like your friends and family.. They are the ones you should talk to and the ones to help.

how old are you? i thought doctors couldnt discuss your health with ANYONE BESIDES YOU without your consent unless you are minor. i think you are thinking way too much.
