I've been making myself literally ill with worry over the past few weeks with these totally foundless cancer fears. I've managed to convince myself I now have either cervical or ovarian cancer (without any foundation whatsoever) and I'm constantly checking for the bloody discharge that I'm convinced will eventually start to appear. What doesn't help now is that, at nearly 46, I've started experiencing irregular periods and although I know that this is a perfectly normal sign of the start of the menopause, my brain is telling me that this is a sure sign of something sinister. This fear is totally ruining my life at the moment, can anyone suggest any way that I can break away from this damaging way of thinking?
