hi! i already ,ade a comment about this but i thought it was worth it's own post anyway.
for a few months now i've been having horrible health anxiety, every symptom makes me feel like i'm dying, i always assume the worst and i have to check what's wrong with me online.
current hyperfixation is leukemia. constantly worried i have cancer, there's a family history of it in older family members yet i still worry despite i'm still a minor... very frustrating, as a lot of my usual anxiety symptoms are lining up with cancer symptoms and i'm struggling to find reassurance. i can't tell my mum that, she'll just brush this off as anxiety and even though i'm sure she's right i know i won't have any reassurance until i speak to a doctor which i doubt will happen soon..
all started when i got a bruise on my knee, completely painless and already yellow-green. instantly googled it as i don't remember getting hit and i've never been one to bruise easily. now i have one just about centre of my ribs (which i think might actually be a skin blemish that's been there for a few months now, only now worried because of my anxiety) and i feel like this is just it for me lol.
any reassurance would be appreciated thank you! ^___^
