Hey all, I'm at my wits end and so thankful I've found this group. Health anxiety is taking over my life. I had it bad about 9 years ago, I convinced myself I had breast cancer. I seen numerous doctors and wouldn't believe any of them when they said there wasn't anything wrong.
It got so bad back then my family tried to get me sectioned because I had totally lost the plot.
The health anxiety did settle, and I'd only panic now and again over my health. The past year tho it has come back with a vengeance. I've convinced myself I've had everything you can think off. The one I keep coming back to is cervical cancer. I can't shake the fear. I had my cervix checked a few months ago, and the doctor said my cervix looked very healthy.
I have recurring thrush which is causing pain during sex and slight spotting. I'm totally freaked out. I know deep down I don't have cervical cancer but I just can't convince my brain.
I have 3 children and a wonderful husband, and I'm missing out on them because I'm terrified of having cervical cancer. I can't live like this anymore.
