I am having a real rough time this week about checking my lympth nodes over and over to the point were i made one sore, have any of you had this problem??? I also suffer from hypochondria due to Gad and I get ocd as well when my anxiety is high. I have been having increased anxiety and that has caused insomnia worse and I have had hot flashes as well and they happen at night and i wake up sweaty and read on the net night sweats could be from an illness, so I started with checking the temperature over and over and now it is the lympth nodes, I need help guys!!! How do I get my self out of this anxiety slump. I have fale ups and I need out of this one. PLEASE HELP!!!!

hi  amensinger. i had the same problem when i first got anxiety too. i would constantly check mine all over my body convinced i had lymphoma or something equally horrible! even after the doctor ran a test and said i was fine i still obsessed with it. if i didnt check id drive myself crazy till i did.
i stopped only b/c my mind switched over to me being scared of head problems, strokes ect.
try weaning yourself down. tell yourself your only going to check twice a day. morning and night. if that works switch to once a day. hopefully youll quit completey. get yourself checked to for peace of mind!
have you thought about seeing a pshy?
good luck let me know how your doing

It's amazing how similar you guys sound to me! I'm new here and I see very similar habits, except instead of me checking lymph nodes, I keep checking to make sure the medicine in the cabinet that I took was Tylenol not Aspirin.

I have the same problem.  Checking temp, feeling pulse, checking medication, constantly washing my hands.  I always thought I was going crazy til I started going to therapy and was told I have OCD.
