cry

So, after six months of being completely fine and thinking I'm over being anxious it's started all over again.
The past month or so I could feel myself getting more and more anxious and depressed about things and just worrying about my health. I watched stand up to cancer and saw a young girl with breast cancer, it was also breast cancer awareness month so I saw some stories from that of other young girls. I'm 24 so I know it would be unlikely but seeing the other young girls has made me think not impossible. My nan also had breast cancer in her forties.
On Monday this week I felt a lump in one breast that was sore to touch. Now I just keep noticing other things, like it looking slightly bigger and the skin looking slightly weird on top (there are stretch marks there so it looks like it's those making the kin look a bit odd) and feeling painful. It's so hard because when feeling like this it's hard to think logically and remember what it was like before, it could always have been like this and I'm only noticing and worrying now as I do check regularly.
I've made an appointment with my GP on Monday to get checked out just in case.
A lesson learnt from this that I guess it never truly goes away properly so even when I think I'm fine I'm going to avoid things that could potentially be a trigger :(
