Yeah don’t Google stuff. I should take my own advice though. I just googled Covid in my state and I am freaking out: I also had a spot on me that I was sure was skin cancer. I Google imaged skin cancer and the spot looked exactly like melanoma. In the waiting room I was worried I was going to lose my foot. But the doctor told me it’s just a blood blister, like my mom and the immediate care doctor told me, and the doctor told me to just try to switch up the shoes I wear.
But then I have a major surgery coming up in October which is a legit thing to not necessarily be anxious about but to be preoccupied about. Especially since it’s only the start of August.
But I totally understand health anxiety. That and anticipatory anxiety are the 2 types I deal with the most. Then you add them together and it’s like no wonder I have a benzo addiction.
