Hi Folks, I have head health anxiety for over 18 months. I have had CBT and a number of check ups and thought that I was doing really well.

I have read posts on these forums before and found them really helpful but I've never needed to write a post until now.

Recently I was having my haircut and noticed that my adam's apple did not sit in the centre of my neck. Upon further inspection I noticed it does not move uo and down vertically as it moves down slightly to the left.

It's started a vicious spiral into anxiety again and I don't know what to do. I briefly checked google which did not help. I don't want to see the GP as I'm pretty sure she is fed up with me and it would be a two week wait anyway.

So I'm turning to you guys. I understand people aren't symetrical but I can help thinking that I would have noticed it before if it wasn't new and that it is moving to the left because there is a tumour on the right side.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks

How would your therapist answer this post, based on the CBT you know so far?
