Hello everyone, so for years I've thought I have bowel cancer, I do have health anxiety. I've made the stupid mistake of looking it up, but recently it's gotten worse, as gross as it sounds, but when I need a bowl movement, I get sharp pains (feels almost like a cramp) in my stomach and anus. Anyone had a similar experience? I do have a phobia of poo, but (again as gross as it sounds) I got my partner to check my poo for blood ect, but said it looks completely normal, I'm just not sure if it's anxiety related
