Hey everyone.
I had been doing well with my anxiety for about two weeks, after seeing my doc and asking her about my last worry and her explaining why it was not risky or worth losing sleep over.
Then last night I noticed a red piece of what I thought first was just a bit of thread from clothing, in the toilet with my normal- coloured otherwise urine.
I'm embarrassed to keep going back to my doctor at this stage, so I used that paid online doctors question service, to check if blood in urine could present like that. The doctor (who is 3rd party verified) said it was not significant and only to see my GP if it happens again, as it was most likely from clothing. (I wasn't wearing red, but a wooly skirt that attracts other threads, and had a few in different colours including red stuck to it when I looked)
With my anxiety I've just lost all perspective on what is worth going to the doctor over. I feel like I am indulging my own tendency to overreact, especially by going to her to ask 'was that random thing I thought was a thread just a thread?' How can she even know, unless it happens again? I probably shouldn't even use those question websites, except its a change to get better qualified information than the horrors of google.
Any advice or perspective you guys can offer would be much appreciated. I have also changed contraceptive pill recently which I know can cause a breakthrough bleed, but again I don't think this is how it presents?
