HI all, haven't posted in ages.
I am really struggling.
All the books I read on anxiety and everyone I speak to says "don't worry" "it's all in your mind" and so on. I am told to think positive, but when I do, something always goes wrong.
I had a mole on my wrist removed last week that had worried me for 6 years despite no less than 7 Dr's saying it was ok. In the end I had to pay as NHS wouldn't remove.
No soon as it was gone, my focus started (as deep down I knew it would) on other moles ?new ones ?growing ones ?odd shaped ones and so on..
I dislike the summer because more skin is exposed and so my skin cancer fear increases ten-fold.
Just as I was telling myself to calm down, be positive from now on etc I yesterday had a quick scan of my legs (which were in shorts! arrgh) and noticed a mole on the inner thigh to look an odd shape. It's very small and when not looking closely it looks like all my other moles but when I look more closely it looks odd.
Dr appointment again!
How on earth can I stop worrting when I have ACTUAL symptoms!
Oh dear, I wish this HA would just go away!:mad:
