Re: Not doing very well….
I think it is normal for people to feel a little worse when they start therapy as you are challenging your fears.
This is easier said than done, however you need to look at this logically.
You have said that it isn't a lump. So now you need to relax and resist the urge to keep checking.
Even if you found a lump, it isn't forced to be anything sinister. You just go to the doctors and get it checked. Why worry until you need to?
I know it is early days in your therapy but try and apply the strategies you have learnt so far. Write down your experience and go over it with your therapist.
When you are panicking take a moment to take some deep breaths and calm down.
I hope you feel better soon.
