I'm 24 and I definitely know I have health anxiety - I had a big thing a few years back when I convinced myself I have HIV - which these boards helped a lot with! I've been having a bit of a bad year with my anxiety anyway and seeing that story about the 23 year old girl who died of cervical cancer really set me off the other day.
I went to uni in Scotland so I had a smear test when I turned 20 but I'm 24 now so obviously it's been longer than three years. I've convinced myself that either I've developed something terminal in that space of time, or that I've remembered it wrong and I never actually got the all clear when I had my first smear test.
Would just like some reassurance really - its starting to really affect my sleep as the thoughts of dying young just go round and round my head :(
