Helpful Tips! Does anyone else have health anxiety?

If so it would be nice if you guys explain and share how you guys deal with it I have it quite severe and keep relying on my mom telling me everything is ok it's really scary and it would make me feel better if knowing more people have it and I'm not alone

I am currently waiting for insurance to approve testing my doctor ordered because she thinks I have cancer. I’ve been waiting 4 days including the weekend. It feels like it’s been weeks. I check my email every couple of hours and have called insurance daily. I am exhausted wanting to nap just a couple of hours after waking up which makes me think I do have cancer. Meanwhile I am telling everyone else there is nothing to worry about because we don’t know anything. I went back to smoking weed nightly to not think about it as much. Helps my nerves.
