Falling apart over ovarian cyst

Posted , 8 users are following.

I will see my gyn on Tuesday about the complex ovarian mass that she diagnosed last week.  At age 45, peri menopausal, not sleeping much, waking up sad and feeling doomed every day, this diagnosis makes me feel like I can't get my head together at all.  The anxiety is huge.  I'm looking into taking magnesium or adding related foods to my diet as suggested, but I am terrified of going to the doctor on Tuesday.  I am so scared and weepy, thinking I am going crazy.  All lab results and other scanned areas normal so far and my sister and others close to me say I will be fine and not to worry so much, but I can't describe where my mind is this morning, it is very bad and dark, feeling like this is my fault somehow and wanting to take better care of myself.  Please share if you've been through this, I'm terrified and trying to hope there will be better days ahead.
