Anxiety Disorder with Stomach Problems, recurrent Skin Problems

I am suffering from bad health anxiety for last 1.5 years. I'm having some strange bowel problems and recurrent skin problems. Having discolored and foul smelling decreased stools for 6 months. I have skin problems seems like aczema or psoriasis. I am not sure about that. I am telling this seeing symptomps in internet. Anyone experiencing same symptoms???

this site is GREAT however google can increase anxiety when trying to diagnose oneself.  so many health conditions have the same symptoms and the only real way to ease your anxiety about your bowel issues is to see a doctor.  it could be nothing and it could be a health issue that needs addressing.  
your body will tell you when something is wrong and a sudden change in bowel habits is an important one and you should seek the advice of a doctor.

I'm having the same problems my doc has said i have severe anxiety and has given me sleeping tablets (which don't seem to be helping) i keep googling symptoms( which i have alot) and i find they they all lead to some sort of cancer, i have been to 3 different doctors and keep getting told the same thing and i think anxiety can cause stomach/gastric problems.

Actually about 2 years ago i was attacked by scabies. Then i started looking for symptoms. Day by day my anxiety increased and i started to notice various symptoms in past two years. I am on anti anxiety medications. But that is not helping. I always look for symptoms in my body and getting sick :(
