Health anxiety

Just had an anxiety attack related to my health 😔 Even though my health anxiety has been relatively okay the last few months.

I was being dumb and sought google for the strange black, brown spots that randomnly appeared on my fingertips. Of course that lead me to believe I had leukemia.. I also had a random petechiae that appeared on my collarbone. Not to mention I've been having breathing problems since late last year, I've also been losing weight, feeling dizzy, fatigue etc etc.

I just cried and cried and tears wouldnt stop. Now I want to go doctors to get a full blood test and everything again.. Even though its highly likely theres nothing wrong with me, its just the "what ifs" that plagues my mind

I have no clue as to the brown spots on your fingers, but the fact that you are loosing weight and having breathing problems would send me to my Dr. Do not listen to the lies your brain is feeding you. Think positive and do something about it to put your mind at rest. Sending you good health, love and hugs....Sprinkle 1....
