Terrified health anxiety can anyone help please? I’m going to have a breakdown worrying

Posted , 3 users are following.

i had a bartholins cyst on my vulva area which burst and left a mark, however i have been to see a gynecologist and he said its not a scar its a wart and its nothing to worry about as my last smear test was normal and he will jaut remove it and do routine biopsy what caused it, however i am still worried sick, i keep thinkk f what if they do this routine biopsy and it comes back as cancer? iv even spoke to my GP who assured me that if the gyno thought it was anything sinister i woudnt of been put on a routine waiting list to have it removed they would of had me in quicker. i cant stop crying and worrying feel like im going out of my mind. the tiny little bumps are white but were skin coloured previously and i was given fusidic acid to put on it which seems to have turned them white. also i tried freezing them off myself with cryotag from boots but i dont think i did it properly can anyone help? how can i just get it into my head that its not cancer?

    I'm sure you have heard this one before, but relax! Try do some meditation relax you're muscles, when stressing out you put stress on you're body, then the body's way of dealing with that, is fight of flight mode!

    Worry = stress, stress = anxiety, anxiety = fear this is how the pattern always continues. You need to brake the worry, and the rest will eventually calm down to the point you can manage the anxiety.

    I understand you have had a few health issues, but reassure yourself, that by going to the Dr's and getting it checked, you did the correct thing, just trust you're Dr, don't read into things like Dr made a mastake and this happened...

    You will be fine, I have had warts before, although they look horrible, aren't life threatening, and eventually they will fall off.

    You will be fine, trust me. Anxiety is the worst mental health issue I have ever had, you are not alone anytime you need to talk I'm here, and I'm sure alot of other people will be also.

    Take care S x

    Literally going through something very similar. Waiting to see gynaecologist end of month after 9 month wait in which my anxiety has been massively affected. Can spend my days sobbing and hysterical just panicking and thinking what if what if so I completely 110% understand. Pm me if you want to talk x
