hello, 

i think i have health anxiety because every few months i will think something new is wrong with me.

so a few days ago i found a small lump/spot under my armpit and immediately thought the worst. my mind went into frenzy mode and started to really worry. the next day i would get random aches around my body that would come and go, these are still happening today but i can't tell if it's because im worrying or not. now i also have a sore throat and my stomach is currently aching, i feel bloated and i think i look a little bigger in the mirror. 

im extremely worried that i have leukaemia because these are all symptoms of it. my mum said that it's just a spot under my armpit and that im overthinking. she said if i was actually ill i would be in agony and throwing up and getting nose bleeds. it puts my mind at rest for the day thanks to her but as soon as it's night time and i'm alone with my thoughts i start to worry again. i feel nauseous. i have bruises on my legs but this is normal because i have type one diabetes so i normally have bruises there from doing my injections. my family also has a cold right now so that would explain the sore throat to me. i mainly think even myself that i'm just worrying too much because not even a month ago i thought a had a brain tumour, that just shows how crazy my health anxiety is. even though i really think i'm fine i still am super worried that i have leukemia. 

do you think my mind is making up these aches and nauseous feelings because im so worried about having leukemia? please talk to me it really helps me out.

thank you for reading

olly.
