Am I just being paranoid?

Well, umm I won't say what exactly it is. But I have reason to believe I'm very sick and it runs in the family. What I'm going through is a warning sign for that thing. (Sorry I can't be more specific, it's just personal) I'm really scared to tell my mom, because our family has already had so many problems and I don't want to cause another one. Not only that but I just simply don't feel up to telling her. Usually I don't tell her anything and wait until I heal myself. But this could be something that could kill me... But maybe I'm just being paranoid? Well I really don't know, I just wanted to see what you guys though. I do get paranoid alot about things, so it is possible... And if it's not... *sigh* I don't know what to do as usual.

go see your doctor then if you're fine you don't have to worry your mum if you don't want to

yeah i agree...your not paranoid hun but if you dont try and fix this problem somehow itll come back and bite you...but dont worry about yer mom i never tell my parents anything eathier. but if you have nowhere ealse to go with yer problem then you need to say something to mommy...eathier that or die...oh well...i wish you luck hun...tell me how things go ok?
lovers,

I have a problem like that. Almost every time I read about a sickness I think I have it...It's almost funny what I can do to myself. Like once I had period pains and I was so sure that I had appendicitis, or every time I get a flea bite I'm sure that it's a spider bite..and so on.
You have to concentrate on your symptoms, but first calm down and asses the situation. If you can go to a doctor then if you think it's very serious that is probably advisable..But still, perhaps talking to your mum isn't such a bad idea. Try to trust her, at least, maybe it isn't impossible and she might help you.

Thanks guys. And yeah, I'm just like that, I get paranoid over everything. But this time I'm almost sure its more than paranoia because, well I have assessed the situation... But if I have it then I don't know if I want to know I have it. I want to live life like nothing is wrong, I don't want to worry anymore. I finally got myself somewhat happy again, I don't want to go back where I started... *sigh* I guess telling my mom would alright... I don't know... But thanks everyone. Sorry if this seemed stupid, I know it looks like a cry for attention and I'm almost wishin' I didn't post it, but I guess its too late now... Umm well, I'm gonna go. Happy Holidays.
