So I posted a short while back about one of my lymp nodes on the neck was slightly swollen, which terrified me. Thanks to some nice replies and also my doctor I was put at ease. However, since then things have become radically worse. I have developed 6 more palpable nodes on my neck, some almost being as far down as my collar bone. Needless to say this sent my anxiety to unknown heights. I went to my doctor again, he examined them quickly and told me he wasn't worried. Because of this nonchalant and very quick way he did this it didn't put me at ease at all. But then things got even worse. While I was laying on my bed I felt four more swollen/palpable nodes, this time in the groin area. Several panic attacks later I am back at my doctor for the third time this week. He examined all the nodes, and once again said he wasn't worried. Sadly, I am still very worried. My neck aches because of how tense I am and I burst into tears at random. It really takes almost everything I have to keep the panic attacks at bay. I just don't know what to do.
I realise I should get help to deal with this anxiety and I already made an appointment with a psychologist through my doctor but sadly the waiting list is pretty long. Anything you could share is appreciated, thank you.
