Sometimes this forum can 'trigger' my anxieties. There has been quite a mention of lumps recently. Looking for lumps has always been my worst ha obsession. I have made myself sore on numerous occasions (breast & neck)and have found myself wondering if that can cause problems in itself. I read a post earlier about cheek chewing and mouth cancer, so i'm obviously not the only one with these sorts of fears.
Any thoughts? please no one tell me prodding causes cancer or il'll need a straight jacket
When i'm in rational mode i know the worst i'm doing is making myself sore and miserable BUT when i'm alone and anxious..........well you know how it is!
I need a CBT thought please. Also i over check for lumps, do you think if something was really wrong you would just notice it without going looking?
Sorry for long post
