View Full Version : Convinced I have cancer
I've got swollen glands under my arm, pain in between my ribs, constipation, headaches, abdominal pain, itchy skin. I'm convinced it's the worst possible thing, I google these symptoms and cancer is the first thing that came up. I'm so scared. :( ugh my anxiety is spiralling out of control

how do you know you have swollen glands ?
Ballerina, what have you been doing to try and stop the anxiety from spiralling? Googling symptoms is a bad idea, it will just make you feel a lot worse - a first step might be to ban yourself from doing that.
HoneyLove is correct. I find that Google is very bad for me, as relates to my anxiety. It merely reinforces my irrational feelings and leads to my anxiety spiraling out of control.
Thanks, I just can't help googling sometimes :( I want to go to the doctor but I'm worried she'll be angry with me because I've been twice in a month for something else, but my symptoms feel worse, I don't know what else to do apart from go to the doctor.
Did you know that Dr. Google has been charged with false diagnosis and causing undue stress to HA sufferers? He's currently under investigation as being a computer algorithm and not even human!
