I absolutely hate health anxiety. I googled all weekend and had myself convinced that I had mouth cancer. I called my dentist first thing this morning and explained my health anxiety issues to him and told him what was going on and he said to come in this afternoon. I went and I do not have mouth cancer. I do have something going on but nothing serious. I feel like an absolute idiot and am sooooo embarrassed now. The doctor completely understood how I was feeling and was very comforting, etc. and told me not to be embarrassed and that I had nothing to worry about
but I still feel stupid for even thinking I had something horrible. I hate this darn healthy anxiety and have called my psychiatrist to talk to him about
my meds but cannot get in to see him until November. His office just said to take the Xanax and other anti-anxiety meds as needed.
I want to thank everyone for being here for me this past weekend. It is soooo great to have a wonderful group like you all to turn to. I'll be on here a lot more often now I'm sure.
