Dealing with Breast Lump Anxiety

I’m such a hypochondriac. have a lump in my breast. I’m sure it’s nothing. It’s probably nothing. I have fibrocystic breast disease, that’s probably all it is. But my anxiety won’t let me focus on anything else. I’m getting an ultrasound on the 7th. And I just wish it could be sooner.

The good part about this is knowing that you’re a hypochondriac. Keep that in mind and stay off Dr. Google. My doctor felt a lump, and when they did the ultrasound there wasn’t even a lump, it was just tough tissue. But I did the same, I freaked out. You’ll be okay.

That sounds difficult. You’re not crazy at all, your symptoms sound real. The anxiety can make things a lot worse, I get that. Try to find relaxing things to do, or distractions or something you enjoy. Use a relaxation technique or grounding skills- those are helpful. I hope you can breathe and find room to rest and have peace. You’re not alone and you’re doing great! One step at a time. ❤️
