I'm finally having an MRI next week

[AMomentofClarity]

I'll live life more, I'll start working out, I'll stop being such a depressed and complaining person. Honestly it's hard for me to plan that much ahead because I'm almost certain that the results won't be clear...

I hope I’m wrong.....but, the odds say you’ll be back with a new fear within a month or two because you refuse to truly acknowledge and treat your anxiety. Anybody who has been there can see the pattern clear as day

Indeed,a text-book example of HA in action and the justifications given for 'just this scan' . Just read this thread in entirety, some great experienced advice on here from so many!

Have to agree. You're dreading results due to your negative and worst-case scenario HA mindset. But when result comes back "clear", your HA will soon move on to another fear. Unless your HA is treated.

So good luck with results. The Told You So Gang will be watching and waiting

Using the analogy of the grass, HA is like a weed.

It's ugly, nobody wants them, they are a plague on the grass.

Cutting the top of the weed makes your grass/lawn looks nicer. That's your re-assurance. That's your scan (which will show all clear). But the weed grows back. That will be another illness of some sort. Some other scare. Or even you thinking 'they might have not scanned the whole area'. It grows back.

To TRULY get rid of the weed, you need to remove the root - which is your anxiety. As somebody who had bad HA and is recovering it is so true.

TYS Gang has yet to be proved wrong

Very pleased for you, Mostu, but make sure you focus on your HA now and don't come back with yet another fear.

HA is a slippery, cunning beast
