I recently obsessed about getting a stomach virus that my wife and son had, I worried none stop and cleaned after they touched anything, I would call friends to reassure how long the virus lasted and so on and so forth, I own a body shop, so after the virus issue, I had a problem at the shop where a customer was trying to sue me although unsuccessful, I stressed majorly over this incident, since then I have been thinking that I have a severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disoder, panic attacks, as so on. I have also been so consumed with worrying that I find it difficult to manage at times, when I occupy my mind I tend to be ok, but any little thing will bring about the worry. Also here latlely I find most of my time being spent on the internet researching all these illnesses, can any of this be linked to hypochondria? Thanx for any input.
