Hi there,
Well today im in an awful mood, ive had many tests over the past years, things i had genuine concerns about (symptoms etc) and 'got away with it' At the moment my worry is my moles and melanoma, which i never even knew much about until recently and as soon as i googled and found out about the ABCDE rules, about twelve of my moles meet all the criteria for cancer, although my doctor wasnt concerned about any of them, just told me to watch them and said moles come in all shapes and sizes. He scheduled a derm appointment for me for peace of mind which isnt until the 29th of March and now ive all these images of the dermatologist being majorly concerned about loads of them and cutting them off for biopsy...
Does anyone else ever feel that because they've worried about diseases and had tests and didnt have the illness, that the current thing they are definately going to have, as GOD (or whoever or whatever is out there) is sick of listening to them, and will give them the disease if they dwell on it so much? This is my worry today, that because ive worried so much about this, that ive attracted it now. Is this more irrational thinking?
