...which is why you read more about anxiety and ocd! when you worry about having cancer, read about anxiety.

if you were truly unable to pass wind, you also wouldn't be able to have a bowel movement. with how long you say this has been going on, you would be hospitalized by now. you're stomach would be massively distended and you'd be in truly crippling pain.



so, basically, you're not being honest with your therapist. therapy will not be helpful if you can't be totally open and honest. how are they supposed to help you when they don't know what, exactly, is wrong with you?

you're not being annoying at all. it's great to hear you're still seeing a therapist. hopefully, it's providing you with some relief from your anxiety.

as for your appointment, it might be a good idea for you to write down your concerns - just make a list of your "symptoms" and bring them in with you. that way you won't miss anything and it might help keep your mind on track during your appointment. your doctor will ask you to clarify what you mean if they don't understand what you're trying to say to them. you can feel bloated without looking bloated, just an FYI.

CTs and MRIs are absolutely safe and you have nothing to worry about. if they weren't, they wouldn't be done - certainly with the regularity they are now.

a few weeks? where are you located? in the states, it usually takes a week to ten days, but yes... if they find something they will definitely contact you sooner. you really don't have much to worry about, though!
