Hi there,
I’m trying to think rationally about this but really struggled last night so in a bit of a panic today. I’ve recently finished therapy (again) for my health anxiety and it went well up until yesterday.
A few weeks ago now I was sitting at work and had an itch in my right collar bone (you know the dip sorry not sure what that part is called lmao) anyways as I itched I just started to feel the area. Honestly no clue why I regret doing it now. In the process I found a lump probably the size of a pea maybe a little bigger. It’s squishy and moveable. When I initially found it I was like oh that’s weird and moved on from it but I thought about it last night started messing and now I’m freaking out it’s the worst possible thing.
I understand as humans with have many lumps and bumps. I also don’t know if it’s a lymph node although I couldn’t find the same thing on the other side. It’s not visible it’s actually quite deep which is why I’m freaking out. My partner has felt it and so has my mum and they both said they wouldn’t even worry about it personally and it’s probably a lymph node. But I can’t help but think the worst. Should I go to the doctors? I probably found this thing like 2 months ago and it’s not changed in size (as far as I’m aware). I just don’t know what to do :’(
Thanks,
