Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I called the doctor's office today to make my appointment to go for the mammogram that I need because she felt a lump in my breast. The doctor told me wait until after my period to make the appointment. I have an appointment for next month. I could be in the middle of my period by then I don't know. I just wanted to get this done becuase it's quite terrifying and I am just tired of this anxiety hanging over me. I got reiki yesterday and it helped a bunch but I can feel the edges creeping in on me the longer this is drawn out. I am telling myself that this is going to be okay since I have had a breast reduction and that reduces my chances of breast cancer and since both my mother and aunt have fibriocystic breasts and the condition is hereditary I am probably okay but it's that probably that's runing my life and cancer is so damn scary despite the many treatments that are available. I'm going to have to take a day off from work to go in for that mammogram as well because I will not be of any use to anyone else or myself on that day. I just want an answer and I probably won't get one on the day of the mammogram either I don't know how long it takes for results to come in but I will be having a mammogram and sonogram as well and I just want answers.

Sigh. . . No, the latest self-help books never seem to have sustainable answers, either. Sigh again. . . God, please grant me patience. NOW GODDAMNIT! ! !
Tapping my foot in rhythm to yours, Ms Moon. Are we done yet?
I went through something similar a few months ago, where I had to wait two weeks to see a specialist to see if I needed surgery. Was hell those two weeks, it was all I thought about 24/7. I searched online constantly and researched all about it... looking for any reassurance... not sure if looking online would help you feel a bit better, but maybe?
Also, since you are concerned that next month you may be on your cycle, is there a way that you can figure out when you definitely won't be on your cycle (say for example, after ending this next one, you know you'll have at least 2 - 2 1/2 weeks that you won't be on your cycle) and call them back and explain your worry and concern about waiting another month and could they change your appointment to a day that is sooner? Or if they could call you if they have a cancellation? I have found that when I express my concerns to the doctor's office, they are usually more than willing to accommodate me to an earlier date appointment that makes me feel better. I hope that can happen and that you can get in sooner. Best wishes to you and I think you are going to be okay. I can tell you from my experience of NOT needing any surgery, that I was SO relieved after it was over and then I felt great! I wish the same for you. Hugs.
