My hypochondria and anxiety has been an all time high the past week or two, and I'm lost. My anxiety is also further exacerbating my real symptoms. I tested positive for strep throat today, and while I felt a weird moment of relief knowing what was actually causing my throat to be sore, I continue to fall back into the trap of assuming it's something much worse that the doctor had missed, or that it's cancer hiding as the strep throat. My mother had thyroid and ovarian cancer, and so I have an immense fear that I'm next.
