I'm a massive hypochondriac, and I regularly (way more then ten times a day) bring up my mucus to check the color, I've done this for over a year now. I've noticed that every now and then I have a bit of blood in my mucus, up until about 3 or 4 months ago I didn't think it was anything serious until around that time I had quite a lot of blood in my mucus! I was terrified, but the weird thing was that the next day my friend went to get her chest x-rayed because she'd been coughing up blood that morning. She's fine now, her x-ray came back with nothing wrong with it. For about 6 weeks now I've been having a bit of discomfort in my chest and back and I keep imagining that I have other symptoms of lung cancer. My grandma died of it before I was born and I'm petrified that I have it. I've gone to the doctors for the chest and back discomfort but my mom won't take me regarding the blood because she thinks it's just from my nose and that I'm overreacting. I'm so scared that I can't do my homework and I cry every night. I have cycles of about four days. On the first day I'll be hysterical, the second I'm perfectly fine and normal, the third I'm almost fine and the fourth I'm almost okay. I google my symptoms way to much and in the past several month I've been convinced that I have skin cancer, an ordinary looking mole on my stomach, breast cancer three times, stretch mark, and two pimples, brain cancer, headaches, TB, and some unknown deadly diseases. I'm quite attention seeking but I only ever tell my symptoms to my parents, occasionally I'll go to the nurse at school because I'm to scared to concentrate and I also have rather low self-esteem.
