worried about cervical/ovarian cancer 😢

I agree! It is cancer awareness month, that is why its every other advert on the telly at the moment, give it a couple of weeks and the world will obsessed with xmas for a while!!! Some people just cope with all the hype better than others, and at different times in your life it will affect you more than others, thats what i feel. I have worried for weeks now about ebola, as have alot of other people on here too, i spoke to my therapist and i feel i can "put that one to bed now" as they say i had my first panic attack in two weeks yesterday and i couldnt figure out why, but i realised this morning that it was my mother talking about the "C" word yesterday... It doesn't take much and that is even though i am actually weeks into therapy and medication... So don't be too hard on yourself... Learn what you can do to relax, whatever that is and really try and concentrate on yourself for a while, hard for lots of us i know xx

Yes you are so right, i worried about ebola too as they keep putting in on the news or radio, im not too concerned about it now though, i know exactly what u mean about the "C" word i cant cope with people talking about it....same thing with my mum going on about her friend that passed the other day and yes from the "C" word😣 i felt so selfish as i didnt respond to anything she said about her as i cant bear to talk about it!! I also watched my grandad pass with cancer 7years ago and im not sure if its to do with my HA and its just rearing its ugly head 7yr down the line!! I will feel so much better if they tell me everthing is ok when i go to the doctors, it doesnt help that my gp isnt very caring,she has no bed side manner what so ever and doesnt seem to reassure you... dont even know why she is a gp as her heart doesnt seem to be in it 😠 xx

Thats a shame about your GP... Mine is lovely, but i dont think she takes the anxiety side of my visits properly. I only got a referral to a therapist because my doctor was away when i went back in May when i was in crisis and another doctor referred me! I'm sure your Mum understands if you didnt say too much... Exactly the same happened to me... I didnt respond to what my mother was saying and she seemed to realise and we just changed the subject. Eventually your brain will learn to recognise that there is less of a threat to your life than you are perceiving and it will allow you some reprieve from this god awful worry, it really will get better! And you will come out of it a stronger person x

Well same as me really coz my gp works mon,tue, wens and fri, on a thursday theres a male doctor who covers and hes so lovely and thats how i got referred haha, he knows more about me than her as i tend to make my appoitments for thursdays so i dont have to see her, but as i cannot wait till thursday this week im goin to have to book in with her 😠 my god u sound a lot like me which is good in a way if u know what i mean its a slight comfort in a way ☺ i dont feel like a freak as much haha xx

Lol yes, lots of similarities...always good to talk to similar freaky peeps ha ha

Yep exactly the same and is an awful feeling, i also feel bad on my children and partner as i constantly feel miserable and ratty, he tries his best to understand me and be supportive but as u know no one knows how it feels until u are plagued with this illness as that is what its classed as!! Im going the doctors this week and absolutely dreading going😣 alls i can say to u is ask for help there is absolutely no shame in it, ive discovered that it doesnt go away on its own... i could have a couple of good days then.... BANG back at square one again and a wreck. Its so scary living how we live day in day out but as hard as it is u just got to try and keep calm haha yeah right😠 when u think about it we are our own worst enemy and the one thing that doesnt help in the slightest is googling as it give u the worst case... i need to heed my own words with the googling haha xxx
