Vehicular Hypochondria

A severe mental disability in which sufferers chronically experience acute anxiety attacks related to the welfare of their vehicles. A typical vehicular hypochondriac may face bouts of depression and paranoia stemming from the false belief that his/her car is malfunctioning when it is in fact operating in perfect order.
Sane Human Being: Why are you giving away all of your earthly possessions and digging a large hole in the ground in front of a tombstone with your name on it?

hypochondria

1. a declaration made by medical professionals and blowhards when faced with an illness they can't decode with a quick once over or basic blood test. This conclusion is often reached once insurance benefits are maxed out, or even more rapidly if the person is uninsured or has an HMO. By assuring the patient that he or she does not actually suffer from the symptoms they visibly see and feel, these doctors can dispense the coveted diagnosis of crazy before moving on to the next obviously crazy not-sick patient. This hypochondria declaration also helps distracted doctors maintain something sort of like integrity, because it's not like they didn't know or didn't try, and it's not that insurance companies suck or that it's sometimes hard to pinpoint a cause and treat it -- really, it's just the dirty, dirty patient's fault for being so darn kooky. Very similar to miserable women being perpetually diagnosed with hysteria back in the day, except no one prescribes vibrators for treatment anymore.

2. the default response of narcissists who consider those suffering illness inconvenient.
1. Well, antibiotics didn't work, so we've been thinking it must be all in your head. I'm writing you a prescription for hypochondria. Pfizer has been working on a great formula for you. You might have heard of it, since the name is written on this pen I'm using. Now, I've got a tee time to make...

2. Even since I was diagnosed with hypochondria, the rash melting the skin from the left side of my body has totally cleared. I'm really grateful to my doctor for noticing it was a massive hallucination.

Hypercondriac

Someone who thinks they are constantly ill. Will google symptoms and actually believe that they have them and worse that anyone else ever before.
James Watts for instance !! Always ill for instance and likes to show everyone very closely how ill he is by blowing in their face !!! Is only ill whilst being watched though as soon as out of site has a miraculous recovery and forgets all about it until he is seen again.
Phrase Doing A Jamesy :: Someone who fains illness and likes to let everybody know all about it. But never wants to let anybody down but obviously constantly does.

A Jamesy will switch from one serious illness to another at the blink of an eye. The mysterious illness can mutate from anything from Diabetes to Headaches to some made up terminal disease within the same sentence.

Don't be like James and do a Jamesy !!!!
