It literally feels like my body is shutting down, there's something wrong with everything!
Had a dodgy stomach this weekend, think it was food poisoning. Didn't throw up, but my bowel movements were loose to say the very least (sorry, gross, I know). I'm fine today, but yesterday I was convinced it was something sinister.
The last couple of days, my chest has felt a bit tight, and like there's something stuck in my chest/throat. I quit smoking a couple of months ago, but had a few on Wednesday night when I was drinking, so think maybe it's my body not used to the smoke after a couple of months without it? I don't have a cough exactly, but when I make myself cough my upper right back hurts a bit. So my mind has gone into overdrive about lung cancer.
I've also had a thing about mouth cancer lately, and just now as I was brushing my teeth, when I spat out there was a bit of blood in it.
I've had heartburn issues for a while now, and I've heard that can cause stomach/chest ulcers, so that hasn't helped.
It feels like everything is going wrong, and my mind is paranoid about everything. I'm so stressed out with university work (I'm coming to the end of my final year) and I just feel tired all the time. Sometimes I just don't want to get out of bed, and feel like I could cry at any moment. I've just lost my uncle to testicular cancer, and this weekend was the sixth anniversary of my sister's death.
I was doing well for a couple of weeks, but now I'm literally petrified about everything that happens to me. It must be cancer. I'm nearly 22, so I know it's highly unlikely, but then I think, you always hear those horror stories about young people, maybe I'm one of the unlucky ones? I can't cope like this for much longer, waiting for something bad to happen to me.
