So thanks to a hospital near my house having an issue with their COmplete blood count reader that showed my wbc to be 3-6k higher than it really was all 6 times I went to that hospital (compared with 2 other hospitals CBC, and two different personal pathology laboratories) I developed severe health anxiety. I went through two months where I believed I had cancer and/or leukemia. I kept going back into that hospital for every little thing I felt or small discomfort since it was the closest one to my house and the wbc always showed 9.5k-11.5k never anything lower. I fell into this depressive state where I felt like I was going to die and something was horribly wrong with me. Now I can’t go day by day without thinking any little thing that happens in my body is serious and something is wrong with me. I’ve never been a depressed person. I’m usually outgoing, happy, and always just wanted to party and go out and have “fun” with different women never thinking about having something serious with one. Now I’m in this state where I don’t want to go out at all, I just worry about my health all the time and just rather be home googling my symptoms. My mentality has also changed to the fact that I want to settle down and find someone and have kids(being 23 years old) just because I’m thinking I might die some day and I want to leave something behind not leave alone. I hate that I have this mentality now and I really don’t know what to do my doctor thinks I need therapy but I don’t think that’s the solution. What do you guys think?
