Hi all,
I've been battling with HA for a little over a year now. My mom was diagnosed with colon cancer and ever since then I've had the "C" phobia. This past Thursday I went to the dermatologist for a check-up. I go once a year. He decided to remove a very tiny mole. It looked fairly new although not 100% sure how long it had been there. It was darker than my others he said it didn't really look like my other moles. He said its tiny 1.5mm . My doctor told me twice to please not lose sleep over this, but I have been in a panic or anxiety state on and off for the past 5 days. I convinced myself that I must have a melanoma that would surely spread like wildfire.
Catastrophic thoughts! These are not healthy , I know.
I start seeing a therapist tomorrow. Trying to get a hold on this HA. Also went in for a regular check-up today and everything seemed fine.
Some moments I worry, others I am ok. I have been trying to stay away from Dr. Google. This has really thrown me off the past few days. Support and insights appreciated. :flowers:
