Convinced I have breast cancer and dying

[Grace360]

So sick of this. So ive had a breast issue since fall last year. I have previous threads on that so I dont wanna spam it again. I feel like due to that I feel like im dying from a cancer I dont know I have. Today when I was getting ready and even at work now I feel weak. My limbs feel weak and lazy. So does my chest if that makes sense. Even my legs. It feels like all I wanna do is sit or lay down. Feels likeI could stop breathing at any second or something. Everything just feels so weak.I dont think its beause of a period because usually that happens much earlier in my cycle. So yea im just really worrying about it and im scared crapless

HA is an emotional response (in our case, to some physical feeling) but it can cause actual, if often meaningless, physical "symptoms" which, in turn, increase our anxiety which, in turn, increases our physical "symptoms" which, in turn.. You get the picture! The best response to HA is a rational, not an emotional, one which means a video or face-to-face visit with your doctor whenever you are concerned about a potential health issue. Most docs today take HA seriously and will not dismiss your fears, but will take whatever action his or her expertise indicates. Instead of imagining a thousand horrible possibilities, make an appointment with your doc to find out what, if anything, is actually going on.

Hey, I understand (F, 19)

I can share my experiences, it might make you feel a tiny bit better - I've had breast issues since August last year and I've had multiple diagnoses and sometimes the diagnosis is different.

One thought it was thrush, another thought it was ezcema, the next thought it was both at the same time, and most recently, I was given ointment for staph by a dermatologist.

I'm still having slight problems but it's not as bad as before where I had other problems like weakness in my arm, chest pain, breast pain, armpit pain and swelling... These symptoms don't really bother me anymore.

It feels like it's getting better some days and then it gets worse the next (yellow crusting, itchiness and irritation) and I'm sometimes scared that everyone's just got it all wrong, but the doctors know better than I do and I should trust them.

Have you been to a doctor? If so, what did they say and have their prescriptions helped in any way? I'm sorry I haven't read your other threads right now, I'm on mobile so it's a bit hard for me to navigate efficiently, but I just wanted to share to tell you that you're not alone. I also have other posts where I've talked about this!

Hoping for the best!
