hi, I’m posting on here after reading some comments from others and being very supportive. I’ve currently got a suspicious looking mole ( unsymetrical , different colours and has black spots on it) that I’ve had for aslong as I can remember and never had it checked. Im quite a moley person I have them everywhere and never been checked for any of them. After looking tonight one is really looking like the bad images I’ve seen online and I’ve made myself so ill with anxiety over it. I think I’m posting for comfort to be honest. I’ve got a drs app tomorrow to have it checked and I know it’s going to get reffered but I just don’t know how to cope with any of it. I’ve got it into my head now that I’m going to be really poorly from this and I’m going to die young.. I have family who are supportive and my partner but they don’t seem to get how this affects me mentally.
I’ve got really bad health anxiety - triggered as i lost my mother at 17 to triple negative breast cancer she was only 46. That’s massively made me have a severe fear of cancer. Every little symptom or illness I have I straight away think it’s cancer, even when it comes to my 3 children.. now I am sat worrying over this and can’t seem to settle.. wondering if anyone else has ever felt like me,
