    Leukemia fear Please Help!!

    Hello
    I am new to this forum and this my first post i am a hypochondriac from many months my first big fear was als then ms and later it was hiv and earlier this year was tetanus i am also a bit socially anxious so lets get back to this year it all started in april when one of my friend’s brother died from leukemia i being hypochondriac searched for it. Nothing happened at that time but in the first week of may i noticed 2 bruises one was a very big one and later i remember it must be from the falling but other was looking like a blood clot it later disappeared but later i thought it is purpura so this all triggered my anxiety. So later after 1 week i experienced pain in both upper and lower ribs i googled it and found it related to my fear at that time i also had some same spots like purpura or petiache on my thighs and one spot on my finger i went to doctor with that i told him about spots and my stomach pain he checked me and i told him about i saw google and i am scared he told me to stay away from google he said dont notice these spots and he gave me medicine for acidity and gas later i also noticed some pimples in my underarm and they also wen away my anxiety was getting better until i found another spot on my arm it was like small dots or rash on my bicep side i asked my family and they said it could be from gym as i go to gym regularly this was last week and i was okay till today when my anxiety was at its peak due to some pain in my joints and just recently i found some dried blood in my nose while cleaning it and right now i am very anxious please help. Some thing about me
    I am from india and its actually very hot here so nosebleed could be from that also i am only 17 years old. Guys please help i am very scared due to this it is also interfering with my daily life and my family.

    Your doctor is right, you need to stay away from Google
    Try to get on with your life; accept your fearful thoughts and then let them pass you by. Brooding on this will only make it worse.

    You don't need to be scared. This is nothing unusual, especially when the temperature outside is very high or low.

    The thing is, you could have pages of reassurance but you're in a spiral right now. Your doctor is not concerned and that should be what you focus on.

    Have you spoken to your parents about your health anxiety? If so and they're blowing you off like we see so much of on here, is there a trusted adult or school counselor you can speak to about getting real life help?

    I'm glad. Recognising that you're spiralling is honestly half the battle.

    That's good to hear. I have a daughter that suffers from anxiety and depression. She came to me when she was 18 and told me what was going on. I, along with her mother made sure she got help. She's 26 and still has her moments but between meds and therapy, she's doing well. I would have an open and honest conversation with your doctor about this. He can help and/or at least refer you to someone who can.
