Hey everyone, I'm finding myself in this relentless cycle of anxiety as I wait for my next set of test results. I keep trying to distract myself, but my mind keeps racing back to all the "what ifs." It's starting to really wear me down, and I could use some advice or tips on how to handle this better. How do you all cope with the suspense and the worry? Any strategies or personal experiences you're willing to share would be a huge help. I'm at my wit's end here and could really use some guidance.

Sending you lots of love and support right now. It might sound weird but i set strict limits around my 'worry time.' I give myself 15 minutes a day to worry, write down my fears, or talk about them. After that, I try my best to engage in something totally unrelated.
I feel for you, do you have support in your life? . Sometimes, just voicing your fears and anxieties to a friend, family member, or even here ,can lift a bit of that weight off your shoulders. i'm here if you want to talk
