I am freaking out, waiting for results from the thyroid biopsy that I had yesterday. Every minute feels like an eternity. Trying to distract myself. How do you cope?

      I’m waiting on test results right now too, the only way I’ve found to cope is to keep my mind busy/distracted. I read something once that said “don’t put yourself through it twice, try to only worry once you find out” and I repeat that to myself often

      The results are indeterminate and now I have to wait 2 more weeks for more test results. ⏳️

      Spend time with friends and family. Play board and/or card games

      When I wait on test results I start getting into my hobbies or watching new tv shows. Distractions are best in these times
