Hello
im wondering if anyone can relate or help me as my mind keeps going into overdrive!
i have suffered with health anxiety since a really young age. I am now 24 and constantly terrified that I have some sort of cancer! I have had tests done in the past for ovarian cancer, blood tests cos I thought I had leukaemia, I get my moles checked every 3-6 months as I'm terrified that one of them is cancerous! My most recent worry is that I have a lot of moles all over my body, on my back, arms, scalp etc. I always think to myself surely at least 1 of them must be cancerous? The dermatologists have checked them under the dermascope and have told me the names of each but I keep thinking what if they've missed somrthing. I keep thinking the one on my head must have gone funny as I keep getting headaches and think what if it's spread and it's too late! I know it sounds really silly to some people but it's completely taking over my life worrying.
I am constantly googling, avoiding situations/programmes that involve hospitals or that talk about health, worry I have the same symptoms as people who are dying, notice every single sensation on my body, fear of leaving my loved ones behind
does anyone have any advice :(
