hello every peeps!,
just registered here as i am suffering with health anxiety, have done for 4 years and quite frankly need some likeminded support and laughs to help me along. my particular problemette is that i fear that every lump, bump and sensation must be cancer. i get that sick feeling to the pit of my stomach and get lost in the fog of fear. it has, am embarrassed to say, got to the point that when i have a wash or bath i get so worked up as i have to have contact with my body and find every lump going and assume the worst. i am at my lowest ebb although try to look on the bright side (which makes a change from the dark side of google and its evil words of doom, am sure if i put a search in for a carbuncle on my bumcheek i would come away thinking i have the c word!) anyway, it is taking over my life to the point that i have to force myself to quell my monkey mind and do something nice for myself. it would be sweet to have contact with others going thru the same as my family and friends try to understand but am sure they think i have two heads or summat! two heads, wonder if i should google it?!!! sorry to make light of it but feel embarrassed about what i have become, i used to be so strong and happy, and now feel weak and downright miserable. take care hugs to all xx
