My Current Numerous Worries

We are not going there with this - you need to use your therapy skills and sort this out alone.

I will leave it and monitor it, it's likely a spot or a cyst and I know this is common location for such as I've had one in the past.

Good !

Sorry, I can't seem to stop worrying and poking it and found self reading about lymphoma. I now worrying my CBT hasn't worked at all but I was doing better. I got a friend to look at it and she said it had a dot in the middle like a bite and looked under skin spot. It's right in the crease and I don't want to go the GP with the whole covoid virus going on.

You need to do the hard work now. You need to carry on doing the CBT things you were doing and have learnt. It worked whilst you were intensively doing it, and can carry on working if you carry on working.

CBT isn't a prescription that you take for 10 days and you feel better. You have to keep working at it. You are relapsing right now because you've stopped working at it. The beautiful thing is that you can begin right this second practicing the techniques you have been taught which were very clearly working.

There's a soft tiny lump behind my ear, I'm not necessarily jumping to worst conclusions but wondered if anyone could suggest what it may be? It's right it the crease next the lobe. Smaller than a pea but still able to feel it

I get these all the time, they come and go, I figured out years ago that they're sebaceous cysts, never thought for a moment they were anything more. Behind the ear is a naturally oily area of the body.

As well as having HA, you are completely out of touch with your body, therefore have zero confidence and ability to assess even the smallest changes and see them as 'normal.'

I was walking bare foot today and one noticed my one foot, my big toe has a larger gap when I flex my toes and step down. than it does on my other foot. When both feet are flat there's no difference. Is this normal? Or something most people wouldn't even notice?

Find something else to do.

This is irrelevant. You are back to checking your body 24/7 and this has to stop, you must go back to what you have learnt !
