Help!! Posted: 01-30-06 12:56pm
Hi,
the other day I realized that my left rib
stuck out quite far.I felt it abit more n
realized there are about 2 pea sized lumps
on a sticking out bit of rib.Ever since
then ive been finding lumps everywhere.Ive
convinsed myself I have cancer and im
gonna die,and I started having panic
attacks over it but then I thought about
it and told my self that loads of people
die and ive got to die sometime (sounds
horrible me saying that to myself lol)i
told my freinds about it and asked them to
feel the lump I found on my arm neck and
sholder... They said they felt nothing
and it just felt normal and six people
said that.Could I be imagining these kind
of things? And why? Because im a very
positive person with my freinds im laid
back,outgoing funny,loud just one of those
kindof people but my freinds dont know wht
im really like recently ive been really
paranoid and I dont know why.Is there
anychance I could be imagining this?
Xx

I could of swore I had a lump on my
head...I started freaking out about
it...Everyone said I don't feel anything,
that was a couple months ago...I haven't
been thinking abou it since...But I still
keep thinking something is wrong w/
me...More than likely it's just in your
head. But to ease your mind go to a
doctor

If i've learned anything from being an
anxiety case and a hypochondriac on top of
it, it's that the body is lumpy and
lopsided.
If you find a lump, but six other people
don't see/feel it, I wouldn't worry. It
probably just means you're making too much
of a normal tissue texture. If you really
become worried, or the lump grows or
causes pain, go to the doctor. Only they
can tell you for absolute sure.

I have done this many times I get paranoid
over one thing and then literallyl the sky
is falling I saw some real good advice
above this post have someone else check it
out and let them be the voice of reason, I
just wanted to let you know I feel your
pain and fear to let you know that there
are others that suffer from those same
kind of things

I've had many problems with anxiety and
illness. I've had times when i've been
sick and was convinced I had cancer or was
terminally ill.
You can see a doctor.
What i've done is taught myself to stop
thinking these thoughts and tell myself
that i'm fine when I am sick.
You can start making yourself feel things
or be sick. I'm sure you don't want that.
