After 8 years of crippling HA, I am having CBT!!

[Lucyy]

Hi all,

Firstly I must thank you all for all the times I have visited this forum and gained advice from your threads.

I have had horrible awful HA for the longest time and currently diagnosed myself with stage 4 bowel cancer (seems stupid writing it out). Symptoms feel very very real and am waiting to see a gastroenterologist. But I feel I have months left to live.

I've had this worry for about 3 months now, and before this I had diagnosed myself with cervical cancer, and just after that it was a brain tumour. My poor partner!!!!

I decided enough was enough and referred myself to Health in Mind and having intense CBT starting in 2 weeks. Although I have my anxiety mind telling me there is no point as this time I am right about my fears and am actually dying from cancer.

I'm not sure what I was hoping to achieve from sharing this, but just feel proud of myself for taking steps to get my life back.

Good for you! I'm always preaching real life professional help. Glad to see you taking the steps to get your life back!
