I am a 27 years old male, and I have been suffering from health anxiety for most of my life. I've recently found relief from it, and I'm writing this in the hopes that more people like me will seek out treatment: My most recent hypochondria attack came on after developing random twitching...

After lurking here for some time, I have finally decided to post my story and see if I can get anymore opinions and/or needed support. Until now I have not posted as I never wanted to be perceived as one of those who is just sort of letting hypochondria run away with them if you know what I...
