...See more Very scared, never been so anxious before. Always have had anxiety and social anxiety but over the last month I’ve developed debilitating Health Anxiety. I threw out my lower back and possible either pulled a muscle or slipped a disc or something based off the back pain (it has happened before from the same activity). Only difference now is my inner thigh/right testicle has been having a dull pain which my OCD/Anxiety brain blows out of proportion. I became obsessive about checking for lumps, etc which triggered something in my brain and I can’t stop thinking about it now. Everyone I have talked to with lower back pain says it commonly causes groin/genital pain. I also read stress/anxiety can be felt in the testicles as well. I can confirm the pain is more common when my back or inner thigh are already hurting. I think I over handled myself while checking so often/stressfully which caused it to be more sore than it had been. I have no job currently despite applying for 158 jobs in 2 months. I have no degree but years of experience including management. I just can’t seem to get a job despite how hard I am trying. I feel like a burden on my fiancée who has taken over the brunt of the financial side of things. I have been DoorDashing for months to try to stay afloat but between gas and maintenance I am under water. Anyone who can listen or give advice on any of this would be much appreciated. Thank you all.
