I hate that health anxiety has turned me into someone who always assumes the worst.

I’ve had a slight fever (~99.5) for at least 5 days, probably longer. I don’t really feel sick, so naturally I started googling and of course what comes up are lymphoma/leukemia and other terrifying auto immune diseases. I usually run well under the average 98.6, so for me 99.5 is pretty high. 

If this had happened pre-health anxiety, there’s no way I would be taking my temperature every half hour worried that I have some undetected major illness. I just wish I could go back to that :( I hate that my mind keeps screaming at me that when I go to my doctor tomorrow they’re going to find cancer or some other disease that will destroy my quality of life.
