Nobody believes me?

Go to a school staff member that you would really trust and tell them, explain your situation and see what can be done.

If you live in USA you can dial 211, they could help you out. If thats not possible then there are some other ways as well. Try to contact the social service people in your place, or look in local colleges,universities or community centers. You can vent in blahtherapy as well. :) But one important thing to do is to bring a positive change in your life. You will be better off.

I had hypochondria when I was a teenager and wasn't able to talk with anyone about it. Later in my 20's I found out a lot of my friends had problems with it as well. I thought I had cancer, a friend of mine thought he had HIV, another thought she had parasitic brain worms, the list actually goes on from there.

Hypochondria is so common in medical students they actually call it medical student's disease. I'm sorry you're suffering with it right now and aren't getting support and help with it. I do want to help you out with a bit of experience to say this is not an unusual problem. It obviously isn't a fun way to think or feel, but I want to assure you a lot of people have this. Almost certainly people you know really well and probably talk with every day have the same problem.

In my experience I found once I started talking with people who were receptive and listened to me about my hypochondria I felt a lot better and it went away. I started with friends who I could trust with my secrets. Later I got up the confidence and told my dad "I know this is crazy, but I need to see a doctor to tell me I don't have cancer".

There are some options you can do without your mom's assistance. You can find a teacher whom you think is safe to confide in, Blahtherapy chat, calling 211, or even talking with friends about this problem in private. You can read books on hypochondria or even read some self-therapy books. A lot of people like and recommend David Burn's Feeling Good series.

You really aren't alone with this problem, it is very very common, especially for teenagers. I hope knowing that can bring you some comfort for now. This isn't a nice feeling way to feel or think, but it isn't uncommon at all, I think if you find someone to talk with about this you'll start feeling a lot better.
