Today, I was waiting for my girlfriend, I wanted to have a serious talk about her hypochondria. She called to cancel because she was (self) diagnosed with some sort of 'neurological disorder'. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went to see my girlfriend to talk about my anxiety, because it's been a big issue. She broke up with me instead. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I cancelled our date tonight. I cancelled because I had a seizure and was taken to the hospital. FML
Today, my girlfriend called and said she had great news. Turns out I've cured her of that illness she gets every month. FML
Today, my girlfriend texted me to pick her up some medicine because she’s "all plugged up." When I arrived with laxatives, she yelled at me. She meant her sinuses. FML
Today, my girlfriend got very mad at me after finding several appointments with "Amanda" in my calendar. Amanda is my psychiatrist. FML
Today, my girlfriend missed our date, so I angrily texted her, telling her if she can't make our dates then we should break up, and generally telling her off. Five minutes later I get a picture of her sleeping in a hospital bed from her mother, saying, "Shut the fuck up, she had appendicitis." FML
Today, my girlfriend's best friend told me she was in hospital after having made a suicide attempt. In shock, I had a panic attack and ended up in the hospital myself. Turns out it was all a lie to see whether or not I was committed to the relationship. FML
Today, my girlfriend asked how I was feeling, because I’ve been feeling down and experiencing a lot of anxiety lately. I said was feeling a lot better and that I finally think I’m on my way to getting well. She didn't agree, and started a fight about it. FML
Today, my girlfriend ended things. We'd had issues because of my communication skills and her confidence, but we were working on it. The last straw? That I couldn't stay with her one night because I suddenly had to go home and take care of my sick mother. She then asked to talk and said I was neglecting her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

God, you people are so insensitive! The girlfriend obviously DOES have kuru, OCD, achalasia, melanoma, Crohn's disease, Budd-Chiari malformation, Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, Boerhaave's syndrome, acoustic neuroma, cholecystitis, Cushing syndrome, supraventricular tachycardia, toxoplasmosis, and tribadism. I could be wrong on that last one.

Oh, and of course have her see a physician! That may allay her fears some. Or a naturopath if she's not into mainstream Western medicine.

Just so all of you know, hypochondria is just like any other phobia. She's not looking for attention. Plus, a ton of first year medical students go through a phase where they're convinced that they have all the diseases they learn about. Would you break up with someone because they're a medical student? Plus, what kind of shitty boyfriend would break up with a girl because of a stupid little problem like that?

Being a hypochondriac is actually really hard to live with. I am a mild hypochondriac, and even then it's hard to deal with. I also have mild emetophobia, which all mixed together is a disaster. My mom even makes fun of me for it. Although, she does support me and comfort me when I need it. Please don't make fun of us for it, it just makes us feel like lesser people. Do you even know what I'd do to not freak out at the slightest of symptoms? I'd give everything away just to "be normal."

A hypochondriac misinterprets symptoms and doesn't believe any form of doctor. I suggest going into therapy, if you don't already do that. And of course, try not to think everything applies to you... I used to be a little like that when I was a kid, like, I thought I had cancer and all. For some reason my mom thinks I'm still like that. But no. I'm healthy, and even when I feel a bit sick, I'm like 'It'll be gone in a few days. If it's not, I'll get it checked out then'.
