My parents ignore my anxiety. Help?

I have VERY obviously had extreme anxiety and hypochondria for the past three or four years. I have panic attacks regularly and flip out in certain situations. I will legitimately feel like I'm dying and be scared Im having a heart attack. There is not a week that goes by without me looking up some crazy rare cancer and convincing myself I have it. I desperately need help but they won't listen. My dad keeps telling me to toughen up and deal with it. They yell at me and scream at me to grow up. They don't care. I'm a nervous wreck. Help me.

    Your dad is right. There is no cure for hypochondria . just cause you think you have a brain tumor doesn't mean h needs to run you down to the hospital. Your using this to get attention
