Is it normal for my husband to keep talking about his health 24/7?

Might be a mental health issue, maybe you can try to convince him to see someone about how his health concerns are affecting his mental health?

It sounds like he is pretty concerned about something, could he just be incredibly worried? When did it all start and how long has it been going on? Is there something about his family history that’s causing it to be in his mind 24/7?
You’re not a bad wife for it driving you mad, but he’s either as above having some mental health issues, or he’s scared and quite ill.
Might be worth having a deeper discussion about it rather than just listening to his symptoms and see if you can figure out why and whether he is right to be worried or whether he is complaining for no good reason. There might be a way you can support him through it, whilst not having to hear him talk about it constantly.

I did try, he accepts and then he changes his mind regarding having therapy. As per the stigma attached to it, think he thinks it’s seen as ‘mental’ to have mental health.

honestly it’s just one after the other. There’s a long list of issues, when one gets solved, another one begins. So it’s non stop.
I was young and dumb when I got married- this never struck me as an issue. Looking back, think he had had these issues time to time before we got married ( few years). But it wasn’t as bad as this.

His symptoms are probably from anxiety honestly

Health anxiety is a major thing, as is OCD especially re health. He needs to see a GP/therapist asap about it x

It could be anxiety causing his symptoms but in the case that it isn’t, it’s good he is taking preventative measures. I’m not sure why he says he wants to die though..
I recently was diagnosed with a vestibular disorder and everyone thought I was just anxious/making up things. They’re still being assholes because they don’t understand the reality of living with this disorder… with my husband, I try to not sound like a broken record talking about my symptoms.
Maybe suggest to him to see a therapist because whether or not something is wrong, he seems to be struggling with his mental health bringing up suicidal ideation and worrying about his health.

My ex did this A LOT and I get you, it’s so damn frustrating! You could actively be going through something medical that’s pretty bad and they can’t seem to give it a break for a minute to put your health first because they have X, Y, Z. My ex non stop has cancer! Doesn’t matter what the issue is.. a little red patch on her skin, a slight bruise, a little patch of hair missing.. it’s always cancer! We both have chronic health issues so to a degree I will ask her if she has gotten that in check first but no matter how much she is actually fine, given the okay by drs and stuff… she goes on.

It’s health Anxiety and sometimes if you mention it to the GP they can help them with it, sometimes offer therapy but other times there isn’t much they can do but reassure them they are fine! I have told my ex, with the amount of time she is so sure she has cancer, the likelihood is that I will get cancer, not her and then what?

I will try and encourage her to give it some time to see if it resolves itself first, then prompt her to seek a drs appt for advice. I let her know that most things she is complaining about it normal and that I have also dealt with it or that it maybe her illness and not cancer🤦🏽‍♀️. Her issue also though is that she is not proactive at all, she won’t go to the dr and bring these issues up, she rather complain about the made up ailment than actually see someone and sometimes I think it’s because she knows there is nothing wrong.

I also say this because when she doesn’t get her own way or when I told her before I wanted to break up, she will suddenly conjure up a health issue to try and guilt me back in. When we finally broke up she tried to do the same thing and I told her I was over it and whatever she has, is now her problem to deal with alone🤷🏽‍♀️

Sounds like he has healthy anxiety x

Agree with others either health anxiety or sometimes people do this subconsciously when they feel neglected. It's a way to put the focus back on them when they feel like you might be drifting apart

That's health anxiety and you should kindly tell him it isn't normal and he DOES need therapy and yes he is acting mental.

He might be a hypochondriac , he may need anxiety medication

I am also very tired as I’m also caring for two under 4, and working, and doi my all chores. I feel like a single mum, but also caring for a husband who keeps on getting angry and upset and I’m feeling unloved.
Despite this I am trying my best, but I’m also exhausted.
I did suggest therapy so many times but you can’t force anyone. He gets upset that I think it’s all in his mind.

It’s a difficult situation to be in.
It doesn’t sound like a mental health issue, but I’m totally lost. As if he is declining what can I do?

I did go through a phase of anxiety few months ago, but trust me he was getting even more annoyed that I’m so negative. And mine was just for a few days. I also have pains as well but I don’t have time to talk about it

yeah this is exactly the same. One thing gets ruled out, so he finds another thing to be worried about.

I don’t know
