Health Anxiety

[Mythy]

It's taken over my life it seems. I am on medication for it but it doesn't stop the thoughts from coming into my head. I'm currently having aches in my legs/joints(ish)?and what does my brain say? "You might have leukemia." Because I did the horrible thing of looking up symptoms. I'm 16 and told my parents what happened, they're both unconcerned aside from my anxiety. I've asked for my next appointment to be soon... Mostly for the blood test. I have concerned counselling and probably will do it. Any tips?

No there isn't a certain time, it comes and it goes.

I also have health anxiety bud. It suxs!!! Tip one. Stay off the internet when looking up symptoms. It will always show you the worse possibly thing. I've been convinced I've had multiple disease from my symptoms and going on the internet typing in my symptoms. We'll never once did I have the disease I "knew" I had. It was the damn anxiety beating me. I never Google symptoms, it's like throwing gas on the fire.
