You probably don’t have a phobia. Hypochondriasis can be just as problematic though. I’d talk to your parents about seeing a therapist.

Don’t push the medication thing. Plenty of mild disorders can be solved without medication, which is definitely for the best. Phenelzine is basically an antidepressant, which ironically often makes teens more depressed/suicidal. Don’t mess with the chemical balance in your brain if you can avoid it. Especially when you’re young.
