Health anxiety, low self esteem
Hello sir/ma'am, I suffer from health anxiety.. And I relate everything to cancer... I visit several doctors for a problem but I think they cant see the problem that I do and constantly search the symptoms on Google and get scared as it suggests of cancer.. Secondly, I have a very low self esteem... I think everyone else is smarter prettier and living a better life than I am.. Everyday I think I would start a new life but by the end of the day come back to the same... Also I tend to buy everything I see... Specially skincare and haircare products... Which costs me a lot of money.. I am in college I have good grades nice friends I have also got a job from college I have a very nice boyfriend too but still I feel inferior and health anxiety... Also I feel scared from strangers... That they might harm me.. Please help
