I am totally failing to get a grip on my HA. I am undergoing CBT for GAD which manifests at times as HA. Now is one of these times. In the last week, I have been convinced that I have:
Ovarian cancer
Breast cancer
Bowel cancer
Pancreatic cancer
....and now I am fretting over a large freckle which I am convinced is skin cancer. It does not fit any of the danger signs that I have seen on the internet (not trying to google but have done a couple of searches). It just looks weird. I know it was there last year and I don’t think it is much different but now I am obsessed with it. I will take it to the GP as I have fair skin and tonnes of moles/freckles so I guess i need to be careful. There is another freckle of a similar size and colour about 2 inches away but apart from those, my other freckles are smaller. I am trying to calm myself by telling myself that it might be an age spot. (I am nearly 40 eek).
I am so sad that this HA gets me when I am low and I am struggling to climb back out of it. Any advice please people? Xx
