    It’s probably just a cyst, my brother has one on the side of his neck. But please keep us posted! God Bless.

      Hi joe just back from my appointment doctor said 1000% nothing to worry about as it’s on the surface of my skin I can grab it so it’s not deep inside she said probably a cyst could get bigger etc if I have any problems go back but my stupid anxiety has got me doubting what my doctor said and maybe she’s got it wrong 🙈😩 xx

    Hi Claire. Great to hear it’s nothing too serious! How are you getting on with sertraline? I think we are similar. I’ve been on it 4 weeks on Monday just gone. 50mg! Are you on the same? X

    I know what is it to be scared of health issues. Im just like that and its really annoying to get to focus on everything on or in our body.

    My psy always remind me to stop worriying about my health but instead to start taking care of myself. But its hard to switch that "mostly" unconscious cycle.

    Claire,

    It’s probably nothing to worry about.  Don’t stress yourself out by jumping to the C word! I had an odd fatty growth in my chin, it went away on its own. Please let us know later today, ok?

    Calming Hugs to you - x kat

    Yes, I do the same thing. Listen to your Doc, take a deep breath and turn the page by having a good day. Go do something fun that will make you laugh. It really works. - x kat
