Hi
Hope everyone is ok.
My health anxiety is really bad at the moment and I can seem to control it:weep:
I am just getting fixated on things and then when that worry goes away I'm onto the next thing. Just recently my 9 yr old had a haircut and the hairdresser did a grade 2 on the sides and I noticed a reddish dot on the side of his head that I hadn't seen before (doesn't normally have his hair done that short) I think it's a mole but I'm terrified it's something bad. This triggered me into checking my own skin and I have a freckle/mole I am worrying about. It's on my forearm but on the underside, it's very light brown and I've had it a while and don't think it's changed but it looks like a splodge rather than a perfect circle or oval shape. It's all one colour but I've convinced myself it's bad but don't want to get it checked at the drs cos I think they've had enough of me.
I'm on 20mg of Prozac a day which has worked for 3yrs but doesn't seem to be working now.
I am also on a CBT course.
Anyone had the same issue with a mole/frekcle and how do you not worry about it?
Xxxxx
