Recently I've had a bad time with health anxiety and panic attacks so my mind's been racing through different ilnesses I could have.
My mum's book a doctors appointment for me to have a full check up, blood test etc to hopefully reassure me that there's nothing wrong with me but I'm so afraid that they're going to find that there actually is something wrong.
I've been a bit nervous about leukaemia since I had a couple of unexplained bruises on my shins and I felt fine otherwise but since I've been suffering from this health anxiety in the last week I've felt a bit tired out sometimes.
I'm so afraid of getting cancer or leukaemia (my grandad died of leukaemia before I was born so it's always been in my head) and I don't think I could cope if I was actually ill.
I really wish sometimes that I was able to not worry and think 'it won't happen to me' but I've been so lucky in my life, I'm just expecting something to go wrong.
