I haven't been doing too bad in recent months with my health anxiety, have been managing it quite well but it hit me out of nowhere again earlier today.
I'm trying so hard to use the tools I've learnt and to talk myself through it but it's getting the better of me this time.
It's about my son, who's 21. I often find it can be harder when it's about my kids than myself.
Whatever way I looked at his leg I'm almost certain I saw a lump under the skin on his leg, about halfway between his knee and his ankle. He's wearing a short pants today and I've tried to look at it a few times without making it obvious I'm looking.
I know my husband had something similar years ago, I panicked about it but thankfully it turned out to be nothing.
This just seems to have set me right back, bringing back all the fears as bad as they've every been with me. Even posting about it here is a sign that's it really getting to me and worrying me.
And I'm aware that my logical thinking is now gone out the window, I'm in that scared to death zone and my thoughts are all over the place.
Any advice on what I should do now to handle this. Do I say something to him or just leave it? I'm really so disgusted I have these HA feelings back again
