Health anxiety

I have been feeling extremely anxious just for mere signs of health concerns and it's genuinely hurting me so much. I want it to stop but i feel hopeless because i see everything as a sign — The moles on my body, the random pains and cramps, the texture of my skin, the bumps that turn out to be bones... i could go on for eternity.

My psychologist is currently not available and i'm too scared to ask my parents to book an appointment even though i have had whole breakdowns over moles on my body and other things, thinking it was the end of me. I still have anomalies as of now and the testing for these anomalies are coming way too late, it feels unbearable and draining to the point where i can't complete simple tasks or even fall asleep. I feel scared and constantly in overdrive and nothing will stop it. The breathing techniques have worked a couple times but they are now inefficient.

I am scared of looking at my own body because i don't want to find other anomalies. And if i find one, i will always be too scared to look at it, even if it goes away.
