Good morning,
So this past week I have been doing much better with my health anxiety...been keeping very busy, which has definitely helped and finally able to start my counseling sessions next week, I hope...been waiting forever. Anyway, my biggest and most irrational HA fear is a blood clot. I have no idea why...no history of them, none in my family. My only risk factors are birth control and I have some varicose veins. Anyway, a couple weeks ago in a panicked state, I went to urgent care and they did a d-dimer, which came back negative. However now I woke up with a big bruise on my calf, which has me freaked out again. Rationally I keep trying to tell myself it's nothing, but I can't seem to stop thinking about it? Any advice? Things like this just tend to consume me and it ruins my day until it eventually and hopefully goes away.
Thanks everyone
