Please help, breast cancer anxiety is back :(

Posted ,

during march i had extreme anxiety over having breast cancer to the point where i was in bed almost all day worrying like crazy i eventually got over it with the help of prozac.

i stopped takig my prozac becasue of this cold and a few days ago i had this itch near the side of my breast, as i was rubbing it i felt a soft round lump, naturally i panicked and spent 30 minutes trying to re find the lump but never found it, i spent more time looking and felt a hard little bump near my rib (im really flat chested so its easier to feel things.) i then spent another 30 minutes trying to re find THAT lump but no luck (this was after my period ended in case that means anything)

i think i really just need some reassurance from someone please, ive been freaking out about breast lumps and cancer for months now and i dont want my obsessive worrying to take over again. and not to be rude, please dont suggest seeing a doctor! ive gone so many times over stuff like this and at this point its just embarassing... i even had a breast exam in march even though i was 19 (doc said i shouldve waited until over 20)

should i be worried at ALL? thank you in advance.
