Hello, nice to meet you here, appreciate talking here with everyone. I am experiencing of anxiety presently, over a few weeks upon checking breasts, in my right nipple , in one singular duct, a brown sticky type secretion has formed in this area,only when squeezed, I have consulted with my GP, whom feels requires further investigation at breast clinic at my local hospital. This is were my issues to attend are causing the most anxiety. I have been housebound for over two years, due to crippling agoraphobia, panic disorder. I am only just started CBT counselling on video call due to COVID, but unfortunately as yet not been able to leave my home to take any journey or walk into a large hospital environment. It's not that I do not see the seriousness of the importance to get my breast checked, but the overwhelming anxiety of my agoraphobia is controlling my decision, I have spoke to the staff at the breast unit, due to the two week fast track, the appointment has been cancelled, I have been asked to speak with my GP, be referred again, but have support and medication to calm me to attend this important check up for my breast concern. I did speak with a breast nurse, who feels it could be a blocked duct, but would like me to get checked at clinic for peace of mind. I am hoping this week to work very hard to leave my home, sit in a car and get to hospital and see the importance of getting checked in case of concern, Has anyone here, experience crippling anxiety and panic disorder to overcome and attend crucial health appointments, thankyou
