I am a 15 year old boy and I constantly worry about diseases, at the minute I think I have luekemia, I have pain in my legs which I think is bone pain but then I hear that it’s ptobably caused by the anxiety but I can’t tell if it is and it scares me every time it a sharp pain coming in waves in random places what is it??? I als have random spots on my chest  and legs and my legs look mottled but it could be because I have very fair skin. Please reply!!

    Hi Sean,

    It is very common for Anxiety sufferers to self diagnose our symptoms via Google searches on the internet.

    This almost always leads to,

    A) Incorrect diagnosis

    B) Us thinking we have something that looks way more severe than it actually is.

    C) Massively increased Anxiety levels because we often convince ourselves we are very ill.

    D) Worsened physical symptoms as we tend to focus more on them (aches and pains etc )

    So the way it affects us is Symptom > Anxiety > Focus on Symptom > Worse Anxiety > Worse symptoms etc etc.

    My advice is tell your parents and ask to go to see your doctor and get a proper diagnosis from a fully trained professional to put your mind at ease, when you have that information trust it and stop worrying to break the Anxiety cycle.

    Good luck...
