Evening all,
I notice that a lot of people come on here suffering with a different ailment or symptom each week or month. I used to be like that, so understand how that feels, but for the last 6month to a year I've been obsessed solely with cervical cancer.
I think the difficulty is that I do genuinely have symptoms or 'sensations' as I'm trying to now label them (good CBT tip there) - I do genuinely suffer from hip pain and pain down there, sex is painful and I have got more discharge than wabs normal for me.
And I'll go through days where I'm quite rational - the smear test was only borderline and theyre not worried, the symptoms have been going on too long to be serious, it is probably tension, IBS etc etc. But then I have days like today where I'm a mess again - 'sensations' are bad without me thinking about them even, I start thinking how the combination just is very worrying, how I should probably push it further with the doctor etc etc. And then all my energy goes into trying to rationalise what I should do.
Has anyone else had something like this where, as much as you feel you are tackling your HA, the difficulty is the symptoms still are there and you don't have answers. Is it really OK to just sit there and ignore it.....
Don't know if this makes any sense to anyone. It just feels like I've got to a point where my HA is generally pretty good, but as long as the symptoms are there (and they're not going even when anxiety does) then I'm never going to be able to fully recover am I? And is it right to just ignore symptoms that exist even if they're not 'serious' hmmmmm x
