Hello
I suffer with health anxiety. At the moment it is a lump in my mouth that I am worrying about. I went to the dentist yesterday and he miss understood where I said the lump was and said it was where my teeth met my gum, but I know it isn't, it is lower down than this behind my bottom teeth in the middle!And there is a other little lump with it! I didn't make a fuss as my 3 year old daughter was with me and also my partner and I was worried about them. Looking at other threads on this site has made me much calmer and I have made an appointment with my DR who is lovely, however I won't be able to see her until the 29th Dec. I want to be able to wait to see her as she is very easy to talk to but I am beginning to panic that I should see someone straight away. I am having CBT and I am supposed to stay with the feeling but this is very difficult. I suppose I would just like some reassurance that it probably isn't cancer and that I am doing the right thing by waiting to see my DR even though it may feel uncomfortable.
Thanks for reading this, it is a great comfort to know that there other people out there is who suffer the same 'thoughts'
