Yesterday I went to see my family doctor for my full physical.
I'm a very healthy 23 yrs old female but I talked to him about a obsession I have since a couple of month : I'm really scared of brain cancer and other brain sickness. I told him I was becoming so obsessed with that I couldn't stop thinking about it.
At first he suggest me to can do the brain scan , so I would be reassure. But when he saw i was paralyze by the fear of the result he started to ask me more questions he told me I was doing a depression. He said it was very common to people who had cancer it their family to feel like that.
He said I had most of the symptoms which in my case are :
-I'm very tired all the time and I oversleep
-I eat a lot more
-I have a lot of problem concentrating
-It's impossible to make decision
-Lost of interest for my hobbies
-Lost of my sexual life
-Being obsessed with the fear of having brain cancer
He put me on cipralex and I have to go back in 1 month to see if I'm better.
The thing is I DON'T feel depress or down or sad....my doctor said not all people with depression cry or feel down a.... but I just can't believe i'm doing a depression... I love my spouse , I love my job , I'm overall very happy....is it still possible ???
