I think it is great you that you are saying 'my health anxiety is telling me.....' instead of 'I think I have...'. That is a really good first step in getting the fear under control. Bruises are one of the most common things humans have, we can get them extremely easily and you have gotten tons of bruises before in your life before this I am sure. I bet you've even gotten bruises before and said to yourself, 'huh I dont remember what I did to get this' - thats how common bruises are! Leukemia is very rare. your stress is just stressing you out
