@@TreeGuyGabrielit feels counterintuitive, but I think it does actually fall under the category of gaslighting! Either that, or I AM gaslighting you right now!
In my experience, therapy doesn’t help with being a hypochondriac as much as other types of anxiety. It is a type of OCD and continues being reinforced anytime you are actually sick. So, it is harder for a therapist to contradict the false beliefs. I thought I had gotten over being a hypochondriac and then I became chronically ill. Most doctors won’t draw blood unless they actually think something could be going on. Austin probably has/had something wrong but is making it out to be bigger than it is. Chronic migraines make you worry you have a brain tumor for example. Doesn’t mean you are making the symptoms up for attention just jumping to the worst case scenario.
@@carlycasper7884it absolutely can be helped by therapy and medication. its a lifelong thing but it can be helped. i have OCD and after several years of treatment have seen tons of progress
@@carlycasper7884yeah, so I have a lot of health issues, I have had multiple operations on hips/spine, constant kidney infections, fibro, migraines, possibly lupus etc but I also have this fear that something more is wrong with me. I think because I'm always in so much pain and doctors can't give me exact answers, I panic, and nhs is pretty rubbish at testing things, so I'm just left guessing, but it makes me over think way too much. My pain is 100% real though and I suffer chronic pain daily
@@carlycasper7884I've heard of so much medical gaslighting when it comes to chronic illness, I can't even imagine what that would be like in addition to struggling with hypochondria. My best wishes to you dawg.
@@carlycasper7884therapy is all that helps with ocd what are you talking about? I'm sorry your therapist wasn't helpful but talk and exposure therapy can even cure ocd completely. I've got contamination ocd that I'll kill my mother by giving her covid and I'm getting better rn. I even took my mask off to eat in public for the first time in 3 years last month.
American health care really isn't that bad Even without insurance hospitals will agree to reduce bills significantly in exchange for payment Insurance also reduces cost massively Healthcare cost isn't much higher than other countries, it's mostly inflated for insurance reasons This means that hospitals are very willing and able to reduce your cost from the list price, especially if it means they get paid rather than having to chase you with debt collection Debt collection only gives a small % of the sold debt anyway so like, 20% of the price from you is better than selling debt at 15% Hypothetical numbers
this is health anxiety not necessarily hypochondria! usually comes from historical cycles in the family, pandemic panic, health trauma, and/or undiagnosed adhd/ocd. austin really should go to therapy, they can teach you techniques to manage it in the moment so you don’t end up going to the urgent care (which can increase sickness levels at times) and can calm yourself down. using bloodwork to remind yourself that it’s safe, tracking prolonged issues to prove that if something was wrong it would increase in paying or discomfort, managing normal symptoms of anxiety and basic health issues like acid reflux, etc.
I mean what he said is concerning for sure. I have two chronic illnesses (an autoimmune disease and bipolar) and he’s been to the ER in a year more than I have been in the past seven. For perspective, I’ve had five surgeries in that seven year period and every time I have been to the ER I had to be admitted to the ER overnight (at minimum). So if you are going to urgent care more than me and they are not keeping you or are discharging you without much treatment it’s probably time to seek mental health treatment.
Hypochondriasis is just the older term for health anxiety (now called Illness Anxiety Disorder in the DSM5). Label abandoned because it carries a lot of negative connotations, because many think that hypochondria is caused by true delusions, when it actuality it functions very similar to other anxiety disorders. People with more broad anxiety disorders like GAD and OCD can develop symptoms of IAD even to a clinical degree, and healthy people can have symtoms of IAD in a subclinical way brought on by health scares. But yeah, the treatments available for anxiety disorders (excluding OCD) are some of the absolute best and most effective for any mental illness.
You know a lot of those places are linked and they can see online via their linked systems what you have had done and also see all the other doctors notes...which may include things like...He has anxiety and depression, and you may not even be told that that is what they think is a possible diagnosis concerning your mental health.
Yes! Thank you for bringing this to people’s attention. I am a hypochondriac and also chronically ill. Took me forever to get diagnosed and ever time I came in they would ask if I was feeling anxious in a very condescending way. Like yes, I’m feeling anxious because there is something wrong with me and I hate hospitals. Didn’t help that is was Fibromyalgia and POTS which are the most common conditions that are dismissed as anxiety.
I have a chronic illness so I definitely have to get my blood drawn more than 8x a year (just got 6 vials drawn last week and I will likely have to get more next week, woooo 🙃🙃) but for a healthy person that’s definitely a wild amount. Health anxiety is a bitch though, I definitely get it! I know my body/health well enough now that I can better understand what I can and can’t just white knuckle my way through, but when I was a young adult with a bunch of scary, confusing, and not clearly diagnosed symptoms I ended up in the doc’s office/urgent care quite a lot. 😭
Hey Mr Conway, I am the Fahrer of the family you saved from burning in a car accident. I owe you everything, thank you for saving my loved ones! I can vouch for you, especially when hypothetically Texan selfish tops would be interested in twinks.
Austin! As a fellow hypochondriac I DO NOT and I repeat I DO NOT suggest you draw that much blood, it will make your platelets go up and your bone marrow work too hard to make more blood! SO STOP IT!
yeah i got health anxiety too. went to the ER like five times in a few weeks because i thought i was having a heart attack and it was giving me panic attacks. thank god for modern medicine! buspirone and lexapro helps a ton, hopefully ill be able to get back off the medicine at some point
Watching this from ER right now, and I think I have the opposite problem where I don't take my problems seriously because I'm really not grounded in my body. I didn't believe I had anemia for 2 years. I had to have my GP tell me to go ASAP to ER because I was losing blood profusely I also take pride in being self reliant, silent and minimising my symptoms which fools nobody and everyone gives me some form of pity because of it paradoxically. And like Austin I probably need some therapy on self worth or smth
I sometimes get this. I never go to the doctor but it’s hard to ignore the feeling that something’s off. Especially cause one time I actually did go to the hospital because of a mild stomach ache right where my appendix was and it was actually appendicitis
I get worried about my health but if ive got things checked recently, I'm not gonna get them checked again like a blood test or smth. Especially bc i dont like blood tests
The security, reception staff, nurses, and many of the doctors at the a&e in Newcastle knew me-more of them knew my name than I recognised 😅 the difference is I'm not a hypochondriac. I was homeless in Newcastle for years & always drinking, taking drugs & getting injured/overdosing, getting into fights, etc, so I was there *a lot.* Eg: I was in 5 separate times for being run over/hit by vehicles 😂 2 of which involving my left foot being run over (once by a bus) On the plus side this will be my 4th Christmas sober & off of the streets 🙂☃️ but my left foot still clicks when I walk 😂
I get this as well. Literally countless nights spent on hold with 111 or at the polyclinic because I think I’m having a heart attack or my liver’s collapsing, or just silently screaming in the living room at 2am because I’ve convinced myself I got tetanus and im going to die IMMINENTLY, it’s exhausting and embarrassing fr for real. Doesn’t help that I am deathly, deathly afraid of needles to the point where even typing it then made me feel like I wanna crawl out of my skin
Im super sick but cause i was sick and like in pain sense like 7 i never realized and just thought stuff was normal so i went to urgent care once cause i had a bad stomache ache and turns out i ws like 4 days into appendicitis lmao. I also didnt even realize when i broke a rib and dislocated my arm and shoulder so in my opinion if you have the ability to go kinda regularly gofor it cause not like american healthcare is rlly good at helping us anyway !
As someone who is also chronically ill this is terrible advice. A) You should only go to Urgent care if it’s something that can’t wait, otherwise just go see your primary care physician. B) over treatment is a thing. There are things that are benign, but if you are looking for something (anything) can be falsely attributed as the source and the person can end up getting treated for something that wasn’t a problem. Treatments are not without risk in and of themselves.
@@gamingwhilebroken2355 …. The advice was just you should go get treated and visit a dr regularly if you can…. Not to urgent care i dunno where u got that? ….but whatever dr u have.

I have massive health anxiety but I only went to the ER one time after being sent there by my neurologist because I had hemiplegic paralysis due to a migraine with a concerning amount of stroke symptoms. I refuse to bother emergency health services unless it's the middle of the night and there's a decent chance I'm dying 😅 And my healthcare is free 🇩🇪
I mean like, setting the anxiety aside, I think it’s a good idea to check on stuff often. Id rather waste my time and some money and catch things early. That said, I only get physicals twice a year
I’ve probably also had mine drawn at least 8 times in 2023, but it’s because I do genuinely have something wrong with me and the various doctors keep only drawing blood for a couple of things so other ones, or even the same ones again, will send me back for more labs. And I pass out when I get my blood drawn 😑
I have two chronic illnesses and have had five surgeries in the past seven years and he’s been to the ER in a year than I have in said seven years… I think this might be a mental health issue
Here I am, dying in my bed, wondering if it's REALLY worth it to go to a clinic. Maybe if I sleep one more time, it'll be cool once I wake up. No need to panic just yet.
ME !! I’ve been to all the urgent cares in my town and the town next to me ! I be even going to the hospital to only find out I don’t have nothing 😭😂 this year alone I’ve been to about 4 urgent cares , 5 visits to my ETD , Hospital like 2 times , and I have surgery on November 10 😂🙄🙄🙄🙄😭😭
I also struggle with health anxiety and honestly my only advice is that google and web md are your worst enemies. Looking up symptoms always makes me spiral
I’m 21 and have had bad lung issues throughout my life I’ve had to many needles shoved in me to count and I have been told by multiple that I look like a “druggy” cause of the scaring around my veins. It’s all in good laughs usually but I do find myself getting self concussion when I catch someone looking at them cause I know they just think I do heroin or sum.
I found out I had Brain Cancer when I was 13 and I had to get treatment and everything, so now for the rest of my life(even when I’m like an old fucking bag) I have to get MRI’s and blood draws and whatever else my doctors need. Every time I get an MRI they have to put something called contrast in my blood(it’s basically like a Liquid Metal) so they can see my brain better when they take the scans. I’m oftentimes unintentionally dehydrated, and when you’re dehydrated it’s a lot harder to find a vein, I think in the last 6 and a half years(I’ll be 21 in a couple months) I have had MAYBE 2 or 3 medical professionals be able to get a vein on the first poke. Not fun😢
If it has to do with his GI tract especially with Austin who has sinus and throat issues, it’s a valid concern. A, millennials and gen z are getting GI cancers much more frequently and much earlier than normal listings 20’s and 30’s, to where it impacted the average age range overall for all generations combined. Doctors are seeing it pop so frequently, doctors are calling it a huge concern and using the big red flag words for it and B, because of his sinus and throat issues, the scaring and wear and tear that developing worse than someone who has adult functioning throat, is good to keep an eye on so he keeps a functioning voice since his voice is part of his brand. If it has to do with std’s and he really has sex as much as he says, testing regularly as the doctor orders is good to do. If it’s other thingslike a pain in his abdomen once sitting up, or he has tennis elbow or something similarly mild for a few days, it is a bit excessive. So if you are having GI issues that are frequent enough that it’s a mild annoyance you have to deal with all the time for more than a week, the food highway mouth to asshole, and you are a millennial and gen Z, please see a doctor and get it diagnosed, monitored and better in control if possible.
As a hypochondriac, i get it. Health anxiety is so real and it can really get into your head. The amount of times i have used WebMD to try to figure out what’s wrong with my body is astonishing.
Honestly! My health insurance covers 1 yearly visit(with a copay still) but any extra visits are a ton of money for the copay, while it already costs thousands a month
Meh, not necessarily. I deal with the same health anxiety issues - I had probably 15 ER visits within a 10 month span, all while uninsured and could not afford the bills. ERs normally bill you later with no out of pocket, and UC’s usually charge like $50-100 up front and the rest is billed later, so getting seen is basically free at point of service, it’s a “worry about it later” issue. If you’re being reasonable then obviously you wouldn’t seek out emergency medical care repeatedly for the same thing, especially knowing how crazy hospital billing is, but when you’re mid panic attack and convinced you’re having a stroke or a heart attack and actually dying, the point is kinda that you’re not being reasonable, and the thought process is “I need to get to the hospital right now or I’ll actually die, nothing else matters.” Plus, the hospital can give you the immediate verification of “we ran labs and did scans, you’re totally fine, here’s some Ativan. Follow up with a psychiatrist” But the problem is that psych visits can take 6-8 weeks to see as a first time patient, and can cost like 300-500/visit out of pocket, not even including whatever therapy or medication they prescribe, so if you can’t afford to see the specialist it’s pretty easy to fall into the cycle of repeatedly going to the ER for the same issue bc at least they can deal with it when it’s happening, this feels like it’s my only option rn
@@cyanidecherrypie yeah, it’s a pain in the ass. Especially explaining to people why that type of behavior isn’t being privileged, it’s being so terrified you think it’s the only option. Luckily I’m in a better position now so I’m seeing a psych regularly and am doing much better, but I completely get it. Health anxiety especially is a pain bc if something isn’t found you may think in your head “they missed it, I know they did”, and if something is, then it validates and emphasizes the panic.
Getting so many blood tests will result in it being harder to get them down the line as it will cause scarring in your veins... just something to consider
me and austin need to talk. holy shit I related to this way too much and I want to be where he is but mental stability stops me from even taking the steps he does. PLEASE HELP
My husband is convinced he has throat cancer with any symptom ever. He had a bug bite on his back and thought it was throat cancer. He goes to the hospital every time and the doctors have literally laughed at him 😅 I don’t know how to talk him down when he gets like that. He has panic attacks over it.
Same here!! Haha I go to 2 different places cuz I'm embarrassed haha I think is because if we're on prep, after unprotected s3x we feel a little off we just go get tested. Its kind of a metal issue 😅
Austin singlehandedly breaking the stereotype of men don’t go to the doctor.

I’ve probably also had mine drawn at least 8 times in 2023, but it’s because I do genuinely have something wrong with me and the various doctors keep only drawing blood for a couple of things so other ones, or even the same ones again, will send me back for more labs.
And I pass out when I get my blood drawn 😑
I thought i was the hydroman, Austin is hosing himself off after every visit!😂
That’s me precisely..
He didn’t go to therapy because the note was at the bottom and he’s a top 😞
I have two chronic illnesses and have had five surgeries in the past seven years and he’s been to the ER in a year than I have in said seven years… I think this might be a mental health issue
i have this too it’s ROUGH
I go that much, and have at least 1-2 appointments a week....but I have severe disabiling chronic illnesses and a suppressed immune system 😅
Here I am, dying in my bed, wondering if it's REALLY worth it to go to a clinic. Maybe if I sleep one more time, it'll be cool once I wake up. No need to panic just yet.
This are the type of people who are the reason for having lines in emergency rooms
ME !! I’ve been to all the urgent cares in my town and the town next to me ! I be even going to the hospital to only find out I don’t have nothing 😭😂 this year alone I’ve been to about 4 urgent cares , 5 visits to my ETD , Hospital like 2 times , and I have surgery on November 10 😂🙄🙄🙄🙄😭😭
This is me with the paranoia but the last thing I’ll do is something about it
Austin not on prep: confirmed.
Honestly? Iconic. I haven’t even been to a doctor in years
Austin needs… *shocker* therapy
I have got my blood drawn more the. 20 time this year
The rainbow subtitles 🥲
meanwhile i think i broke my foot a month ago and i've been hoping it goes away lmao
I also struggle with health anxiety and honestly my only advice is that google and web md are your worst enemies. Looking up symptoms always makes me spiral
I’m 21 and have had bad lung issues throughout my life I’ve had to many needles shoved in me to count and I have been told by multiple that I look like a “druggy” cause of the scaring around my veins. It’s all in good laughs usually but I do find myself getting self concussion when I catch someone looking at them cause I know they just think I do heroin or sum.
That is more blood taken than I have ever had in my life
Goes to doctor constantly. Doesn’t do the one thing the doc says to do
Frequent flyer
I found out I had Brain Cancer when I was 13 and I had to get treatment and everything, so now for the rest of my life(even when I’m like an old fucking bag) I have to get MRI’s and blood draws and whatever else my doctors need. Every time I get an MRI they have to put something called contrast in my blood(it’s basically like a Liquid Metal) so they can see my brain better when they take the scans. I’m oftentimes unintentionally dehydrated, and when you’re dehydrated it’s a lot harder to find a vein, I think in the last 6 and a half years(I’ll be 21 in a couple months) I have had MAYBE 2 or 3 medical professionals be able to get a vein on the first poke. Not fun😢
Hey, congrats on beating the cancer!!!!
The rainbow subtitles are back !!!
You won me and then this clip immediately lost me ☠️☠️☠️
The rainbow captions lmao
austin is going in place of all the men who refuse to see a doctor even if there's something seriously wrong with them💀💀
SEEK THERAPY “NO”
If it has to do with his GI tract especially with Austin who has sinus and throat issues, it’s a valid concern. A, millennials and gen z are getting GI cancers much more frequently and much earlier than normal listings 20’s and 30’s, to where it impacted the average age range overall for all generations combined. Doctors are seeing it pop so frequently, doctors are calling it a huge concern and using the big red flag words for it and B, because of his sinus and throat issues, the scaring and wear and tear that developing worse than someone who has adult functioning throat, is good to keep an eye on so he keeps a functioning voice since his voice is part of his brand. If it has to do with std’s and he really has sex as much as he says, testing regularly as the doctor orders is good to do. If it’s other thingslike a pain in his abdomen once sitting up, or he has tennis elbow or something similarly mild for a few days, it is a bit excessive. So if you are having GI issues that are frequent enough that it’s a mild annoyance you have to deal with all the time for more than a week, the food highway mouth to asshole, and you are a millennial and gen Z, please see a doctor and get it diagnosed, monitored and better in control if possible.
What’s GI Tract?
As a hypochondriac, i get it. Health anxiety is so real and it can really get into your head. The amount of times i have used WebMD to try to figure out what’s wrong with my body is astonishing.
Dude is priviledged beyond belief. I can't imagine affording one trip a month.
Yeah, everyone praising and laughing as if he isn't wasting health professionals time that could be used on actually sick people
Honestly! My health insurance covers 1 yearly visit(with a copay still) but any extra visits are a ton of money for the copay, while it already costs thousands a month
Meh, not necessarily. I deal with the same health anxiety issues - I had probably 15 ER visits within a 10 month span, all while uninsured and could not afford the bills. ERs normally bill you later with no out of pocket, and UC’s usually charge like $50-100 up front and the rest is billed later, so getting seen is basically free at point of service, it’s a “worry about it later” issue. If you’re being reasonable then obviously you wouldn’t seek out emergency medical care repeatedly for the same thing, especially knowing how crazy hospital billing is, but when you’re mid panic attack and convinced you’re having a stroke or a heart attack and actually dying, the point is kinda that you’re not being reasonable, and the thought process is “I need to get to the hospital right now or I’ll actually die, nothing else matters.” Plus, the hospital can give you the immediate verification of “we ran labs and did scans, you’re totally fine, here’s some Ativan. Follow up with a psychiatrist” But the problem is that psych visits can take 6-8 weeks to see as a first time patient, and can cost like 300-500/visit out of pocket, not even including whatever therapy or medication they prescribe, so if you can’t afford to see the specialist it’s pretty easy to fall into the cycle of repeatedly going to the ER for the same issue bc at least they can deal with it when it’s happening, this feels like it’s my only option rn
@@mariahtylertvyou explained it perfectly
@@cyanidecherrypie yeah, it’s a pain in the ass. Especially explaining to people why that type of behavior isn’t being privileged, it’s being so terrified you think it’s the only option. Luckily I’m in a better position now so I’m seeing a psych regularly and am doing much better, but I completely get it. Health anxiety especially is a pain bc if something isn’t found you may think in your head “they missed it, I know they did”, and if something is, then it validates and emphasizes the panic.
My mother was a hypochondriac and drove everyone nuts with her various illnesses. This guy and I would never be b f f
Getting so many blood tests will result in it being harder to get them down the line as it will cause scarring in your veins... just something to consider
Being a hypochondriac is not fun… definitely need to talk to someone about this issue.
me and austin need to talk. holy shit I related to this way too much and I want to be where he is but mental stability stops me from even taking the steps he does. PLEASE HELP
Health anxiety is real. He needs to talk to someone about it before it gets any worse.
I am the exact opposite and will not go to a doctor until I absolutely have to… ignorance is bliss to me 😂
Isnt it mental dieases that when you think you always sick
Goes to the doctor, they give him advice, doesnt take the advice.. continues to go to the doctors
My husband is convinced he has throat cancer with any symptom ever. He had a bug bite on his back and thought it was throat cancer. He goes to the hospital every time and the doctors have literally laughed at him 😅 I don’t know how to talk him down when he gets like that. He has panic attacks over it.
sounds like he needs a primary care doctor
Primary care doctors need appointments, if you’re a hypochondriac it’s much “better” to go to UC since they can see you immediately
It's gonna get real interesting for him when he gets older.......
get a primary care provider and leave those damn urgent care Dr’s alone 😂
Same here!! Haha I go to 2 different places cuz I'm embarrassed haha I think is because if we're on prep, after unprotected s3x we feel a little off we just go get tested. Its kind of a metal issue 😅
