Have you ever felt?
How you ever felt like as if you were going to catch a really bad disease? After reading a book about some girl that either dies in the end or gets a life threatening disease and then almost dies but lives again in the end of the story??? Then after a while you find out that you have not gotten or received a disease???( I have felt like that many times. Mainly because I have not only felt it a few second a go. It was after reading a book about a girl's sister who dies from a deadly disease that can be mostly treated now.Which is good to know if I ever catch it.^^)
Have you ever felt that kinda thing??? Though it's more like a worry than the fact that you actually feel it. ^^ I just wanted to know if anyone else felt that way sometimes after reading a book or if I am alone in that matter. ^^ |
I have a deep fear of getting cancer. I cant listen to country music anymore because they have a lot of songs about cancer. If I think about it, I start to hyperventilate. If I get cancer, I don't want to be treated, I just want to die.

Yup. I too, have a fear of cancer. I don't wanna die. D: I have a lot of things ahead of me in life. :[ I also don't wanna turn bald. So, if I ever do get cancer, I hope it gets discovered quick...so I won't have to lose all my hair and my life. :[

I tend not to worry too much about anything. The way I see it is if I get something then I get something and can deal with it at the time.
|
I figure whatever. It would suck if I did get sick but.. *shrugs*
|
I am all ways thinking that I ganna get something. :roll:
|
if you get the feeling that you are getting sick after reading a book with a diseased character then it is most likely a neurological disorder.
i personally could care less about death, every thing that is alive is eventually going to die, so way be scared of it. |
Actually, I feel like that a lot...
Except when I'm watching one of those medical television shows. I keep feeling like what if something's wrong me, and just don't know about it, because that seems to be the case in most of the shows I've seen (of course it's probably exaggerated, but). Luckily that feeling goes away, it's sort of off and on for me. |
That's not a very pleasant side effect to reading, is it? I can't say that I have ever felt that way, but reading about or thinking about a disease usually does make me a bit queasy. So I don't think about it. I figure, if I let it consume my thoughts, I'll eventually get it because I am attracting it to myself through negative thinking.

OMG, yes! I read this one story about a boy who got menincogomenia (don't know if I spelt that right) that not many people survive from. He ended up losing both his legs and almost losing his arms as well. After I read it I was paranoid about catching it even though it's super rare.
|
D;
I've never felt like that, but .. It might be a neurological disorder (as somebody pointed out) if it's really, really severe. I do, have a fear of pain. Haha. Ironic, no? Diseases (most of them) lead to pain, but I have no fear of catching / contracting them. Weird. :S |
Don't most med students end up suffering from that? I mean, not MOST, but a lot? Because they have to read through books on diseases to know the diagnostic criteria and then they begin to see the symptoms in themselves. Happens for psych students too. So you're def. not alone.
|
I'm a terrible hypochondriac like that. I'm sure i've had the symptoms of about 75 different deadly diseases over the years. I'm growing out of it now though, i just tell myself to stop being so silly when i feel i have malaria or something. =3
|
I have a fear of something really bad will happen to me since I've never broken a bone or ..well actually been to the hospital since I was born .
Also my father got cancer so i also fear that maybe i could have it and it is slowly developing D: I tend to stay away from horrid books like that And even movies D: They scare me a lot |
After I read things like that, I don't think I'll catch them, but I become more aware of my surroundings and keeping myself clean. I don't worry about catching some foreign or weird disease. If I do and I die, then it was my time to go and I have no regrets :3
