Hi there, I've posted in ocd too but am not sure whether it's better suited to this section. I've suffered from health anxiety for as long as I can remember. Last weekend I remembered I'm about a year late for my smear. This coincided with my seeing some blood when I wiped after emptying my bowel. I thought the blood was from that ratger than my cervix.... But the seed had been planted and I've been in a constant state of panic since. I tried to book straight in for a smear on Monday morning but there are no appointments so I've had to book in for 13th December when I'm mid-cycle again. I keep reading that there are often no symptoms which is freaking me out because I can't reassure myself with lack of symptoms! I've had two sexual partners in my lifetime one of them in the past two years. I can't look at my children right now without crying because I feel like I'm going to leave them without a mum and it will be my own fault for being late for my smear.
