Just a post to start me off .. Been reading on this sight for a few years it now feel I would benefit from your support :D
I coming 45 and I've had anxiety, mainly about my health, since I was 17 so that's a whole lot of anxiety!!
Things have been good and bad along the years I've gone months even years anxiety free but it's always lingered there waiting to rear its ugly head.
The last few years have been hellish I'm guessing modern stress and a change in hormones have amplified things..
So in my sweet little mind I've had everything and anything wrong with me I used to go to the docs all the time but now I'm the opposite I'm to damn scared to go to the doctors grrrrr.
I must add that I lost my mum at 17 to breast cancer which I'm sure is the root of my anxiety she was an isolated family case of BC or any cancer to be fair :yesyes::yesyes: so the last year has got progressively worse I'm all over the place I'm sure I'm starting the pre menopause as my cycle is getting shorter and from what I've read I have a good hand full or two of the other 'lovely' symptoms.
So this last week I'm stuck in the dreaded Breast cancer it's bloody everywhere in my life my husbands Aunty had a mastectomy a month ago his cousin just got diagnosed 2 weeks ago a new lady at work is a 3 year survivor and a friend of mine is a year surviviour.. Everywhere I look it's there newspapers TV programs to top it off I've had breast pain on the left side for the last week I do suffer from breast pain again hormones! But my left seems loads worse it's not a there all the time and it doesn't wake me but the minuite I think about it which is proberbly 23hrs and 55 minuite a of the day it's there burning away at both my breast and my brain! I've checked checked and checked again and I feel no abnormalities I've tried ringing the breast clinic today but they didn't pick up .. To make matters worse I missed my yearly mammogram last September as I was to damn scared to go ( I get yearly because of my mum) all my previous mamos have been clear thank the Lord.
So that's my this is me post
I'm very pleased to meet you all and look forward to posting and supporting xx
