Hello there.
I'm a regular reader of this site, and have posted once a long time ago, due to the fact im rubbish on the computer i found it too complecated to post. However, i have found reading your posts very helpfull with my anxiety.
Now i find myself in a situation where i really do need to talk to you guys. So i have made it my bussiness to work this site out and post my problem, just hope it works.
Here it goes, i have bad health anxiety for some years now, have had cognitive therapy and try to use what i learnt there to help me live my life.
Things like having to go to the Doctor for anything, by the time i reach the gp i'm out of control, whether it's for myself or a member of my family. Im always expecting there to be bad news. With my anxiety i cant just have a sore throat, i think it's cancer.
Anyway, that tells you a little about me, but for now the problem is my husband, he's the one with the lump in his leg- top inner thigh, feels lumpy and yes it's grown. GP has reffered him to a specialist, obviously i will hav to go with him to the hospital, this is where i need help, this is putting me in my worst nightmare ever. How on earth am i going to be able to cope? and obviously be a support for my hubby, i cant tell him what's going on in my head as to what i think this lump is, or he'll be scared to death. You guys probably have a good idea has to what kind of thoughts i have.
So there it goes, how can i get through this appointment, and face reality?
Please help me, i'm so worrid.
Thanks for reading,
Lynette
