re: Advice on handling a hypochondriac?

When you figure it out, let me know. I think hypochondriac and General Anxiety Disorder usually go hand-in-hand which SSRI's helped but the negative side effects of them take a toll on a relationship.

You obviously can't feed into their fear or they'll panic even more. But at the same time if you tell them they'll be fine they'll accuse you of not believing them or supporting them.

I know exactly what you mean. I get the "you don't understand" nearly daily. I'm still trying to figure out what to do. I try to encourage a better diet, exercise, therapy, and try my best to not get red in the face frustrated.
