It seems like you're trying to lose weight with slimming world and are succeeding, which is good. But weight loss is also a sign of anxiety.

Not to worry! Your doctor is reassuring you that what you have is normal. I, too have a lump in my neck. A few years ago I was going to have an MRI done on it which the doctor reluctantly agreed to...but then I changed my mind and decided to 'wait and see'. He had said that we all have lymph nodes in our necks, some more prominent than others and when we have sinusitis or a cold for example. they may puff up a bit but they just sit there basically doing no harm. It is several years later. The lymph node is still there, still the same size and I am fine...and so are you.
I think that when we are alone too much and not busy enough...we tend to turn our focus inwards...on ourselves. If you are out and about, doing for others, volunteering if you are not working, going for long walks, maybe listening to your favourite music on your iPod while you walk which is what I do and is a great stress buster, taking a course (in retirement I am learning Italian), meeeting for a coffee with friends, baking for a friend or neighbour, joining an exercise class, swimming, doing Tai Chi, learning to prepare healthier meals, getting involved at your church or community centre etc....you will have NO TIME to think about your lymph node.
At the end of a day, you want to be tired and feel as though you have accomplished something. In your own way I am sure you have a lot to offer and this will alleviate your stress.

The lump could be a number of things . I would like to suggest that u see a doc. Find out what the lump is. If it moves around as u describe it could be a fatty tumor harmless. I get them occasionally.
It's better to know what the lump is .. It's the not knowing that is driving UR anxiety up.
check in with UR doc ASAP.. It will be a relief for u to find the answer.. UR have a lot od good intentions. Take one thing at a time and be kind to urself.
Calming healing hugs sent UR way
