Need someone to talk to

hey, it’s me again. I’m back with a lot more worries. The first thing that I’m worried about is having lymphoma as I noticed a hard spot on my armpit. I showed it to my mum (who’s a beautician) and she said it’s acne (but it’s not even pink?) I asked her if it’s a lump or bump and she said no. I’m scared what if it is actually a lump. My second sorry is about my kidneys and bladder. I usually drink a lot of water and I think I have been but since 2 days I only owe 3 times a day which is not normal for me. I feel like I’ve got renal kidney failure and some sort of bladder cancer... cause even one of my legs has been hurting and that’s a symptom of kidney failure which is also my 3rd worry. 

Ik so scared to the long that I’m crying while writing this post. My Healy anxiety is on the worst level now and I’m not sure how to cope. If you could reply to this, I would be very relieved. Do you think it’s anything serious ? 

  • Hey bella,

    I just wanted to say hi and assure you your not alone. 

    I too suffer with help anxiety and I know how debilitating it can be, I have been having worring symptoms myself and have reached for Google and this site for reassurance many times.

    It's the same with everything I have medically that goes wrong with me the more I think about it and Google it the worse my symptoms become and even spead to other parts of my body.

    I always say if in doubt check it out with your gp I'm lucky my gp is understanding and will go above and beyond to make me feel better.

    I would say your symptoms are nothing to worry about and is probably a blocked duct but please see you gp for peace of mind.

    Also ask your gp about some kind of cbt if you haven't already tried it.

    Hope you feel better soon 

    Hugs 

    Kels

  • Hi Bella, I'm freaking out as well at the moment, but in the middle of loads of tests. Do you think you might be weeing less as it's been so hot lately? Is quite normal in the hot weather to go less. Please try not to panic as there are so many explanations for a spot under your arm. I would wait to see if it goes in a few days and then go to the gp if not. Totally know how you feel. I've been a bit of a hyperchondriac all my life, diagnosing my self with all sorts of illnesses. Is quite scary that now I'm actually being tested for one. Xxx
