CBT: You said you have severe anxiety? Is that health anxiety? People with severe anxiety about their health can sometimes have doctors following them down the rabbit hole with multiple tests. Sometimes they don't feel reassured unless they undergo big workups. If healthy anxiety is driving this that can be a problem Regardless of what type of anxiety you have consider cognitive behavioral therapy.
