Hypochondria

Hypochondria This is a phobia. Often misunderstood, hypochondria is the fear of having a serious illness. People with hypochondria have a genuine phobia that they or someone they love will die of some disease or another. It is not a psychosomatic condition. Nor is the person always 'sick' as seems to be the common misconception of this very devastating fear.
Hypochondria is when you have a cold you might think you have something much worse that could kill you.

No, Nancy, the internet is wrong. Just because you have a sore ankle doesn't mean you're a diabetic. I am sorry to say, however, that you are a hypochondriac.
