Hypochondria

[vixxi]

I am thinking about going to nursing school but I suffer from hypochondria/health anxiety. Would going into this field make it worse? Or maybe better instead? Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you!

It could make it worse, what will your plan be if you start thinking/believing you have symptoms of the diseases you are studying?

Even people without hypochondria get a little hypochondria from nursing school. So yeah, you need a plan like dishes said.
