So I’ve been going to CBT therapy for my health anxiety. It’s been going great, and for several months I’ve been able to control my anxiety by reassuring myself and trying to deal with the uncertainty.
However, one of my biggest crutches was that I presumed that if you’d had your symptoms for over year, the likely hood of it being cancer is a lot less as it would’ve grown and grown to the point where you would’ve noticed by then.
However, I’ve seen several things in the news recently where people people have had aches for years and then suddenly, it progressed into cancer!
This has really set me back. All my symptoms for various different cancers I thought I had have all come back at once, and now see relevant again - my neck pain, back pain etc that I’ve had for well over a year I’m now worried are potentially serious!
Really struggling now and not sure what to do. :(
I have this pain in my back that radiates through my chest as well and othe stuff in that area. I have some bad posture issues with rounded shoulders that seem like they could be causing it, but I’m now worried it’s actually a sign of bone cancer. There’s also a moveable lump in my back that I’ve noticed when I’ve been prodding around which now I’m worried is released. I’m pinning everything together and making a picture in my mind and I can read stop thinking about.
Not to mention all the other symptoms I’ve had in the past for other things that I’m now thinking about again.
Sorry for rambling, just needed to vent.
I’m only 21 and my life is just a constant fear.
Thanks for reading.
