i (18f) have been diagnosed with GAD since i was 14. I've noticed a specific occurrence i have whenever i have a few days of higher than normal stress/anxiety and I'm wondering if it's correlated or if I'm just overthinking (lol)

i get these weird, veiny, but thick lines in my arms or legs (usually my left arm) that stay for around 6-36hrs or so, depending on the day. it's different every time, but as far as i know has stayed within that range. they look like thick spider veins, but red, and sometimes accompanied with some bruising. i would describe it, although im not even entirely sure this is possible, like my veins have bursted and there's blood pooling in the pattern of my veins over about 1-2 square inches of my skin.

could this be due to high blood pressure causing holes in my veins or something like that? please excuse me if that's impossible or stupid, i'm young and naive when it comes to health or anything of the sort lol

i'd also like to note that my lower arm starts to feel numb and the area of affect feels sore when it happens, but only after i notice the lines, so i truly think my mind is making that up because i'm dramatic haha

p.s. it never follows excersize or weight lifting or anything like that
