Anemia??

ive been scared that I have anemia for the past few days because it could be a symptom of colon cancer. I've been having bowel problems for a few months now and I think my uncontrollable anxiety is making it worse. Anxiety is a symptom of anemia and I'm freaking out! Also, I have difficulty remembering (I think before my anxiety started), difficulty concentrating sometimes, fatigue. My nails are a bit pale-ish? Idk, they are pink but near the cuticle part, it's like a paler pink or white even! I've been annoying so many friends because I keep asking them if my nail look pale or normal. They all said normal but a fades a bit lighter towards the cuticle/base. Some of my friends have the same thing so I guess I'm a bit less worried. Then I read something about how anemic people have pale palms, pale tongue, pale palpebral/conjunctiva, and of course, the pale nails. My nails doesnt look as white as those peoples nail who are anemic but Im still scared. My palm is always red or light red. My palpebral is red near the waterline part and then it's lighter towards the eye. I feel like I've been worrying about this so much that the palpebral actually starts to look lighter but still not pale, phew. And a while later, when I calm down, it looks normal again, I think, or maybe it has been like that all this time. My tongue is not really pale either. A bit more red at the tip and rhe rest is generally pink. It has this thin coat of white? Smells pretty bad, too. Does this mean anything, now that I thought about it?! Hair loss  is a sign of anemia. I've been losing some hair. It runs in the family I think, my mom loses a lot of hair, my cousin, some aunt and uncle, my dad. About 10 strands of hair comes out when I brush my hair. It could also be because I have really really tangly hair and I have to yank a lot. Cold hands and feet is another sign. I almost always have cold hands and feet. Not 24/7 but most of time, especially since it's cold now, where I live and winters are freezing. I won't be able to go to therapy until 2 more weeks and possibly get some medication. I've been worrying everything from heart disease, to liver disease, to colon cancer, kidney stones. I'm currently settling on IBS for my bowel problems. I've never seen blood in my stool (on periods, yes), it's almost always a light-medium color, almost never dark. I don't have excessive weight loss and no fever. But I do have bad anxiety and stress and typical symptoms of IBS. I took multiple quizzes online to see if I met the Rome Criteria (quizzes are not a diagnostic, tho). A score less than 10 is your not suffering from IBS. A score greater than 20 is most likely suffering from IBS. I got 32. I don't see any or notice of the alarming symptoms so that's good, but I just learned that's there something called occult blood (not visible) and there goes my anxiety. Please help. I'm 16, female, am I too young to be worrying about these stuff? I can't stop it. I tired doing stuff I've learn from therapy but I've been worrying still and lacking.
