Being sick and struggling with anxiety is a HUGE challenge. A few years ago, I had a really bad case of the flu, and because of my anxiety, I was utterly convinced that I was either losing my mind or dying - or both. Even today when I have the smallest health problems, it doesn't take long before I've convinced myself that I only have a month to live. I just mean to say I know how you feel, and you aren't alone.

The good news is that you're going to see a doctor tomorrow. It sounds like you have a lot of really uncomfortable symptoms, and it's always awful when you're not at all sure what's going on with your body.

I hope your physician can give you some piece of mind, and offer some treatments so that you can be on your way to recovering. In the mean time, do what you can to relax. Take a hot bath. Meditate. Read. Watch your favorite movie. Anything that will help you feel good in some small way.

I wish you all the best, and please keep us posted on what your doctor has to say.

I'm glad you have your appointment so you can discuss your concerns with your doctor but I also struggle when I am feeling sick, my anxiety always makes me think the worse even with something as simple as sore muscles (from the way I slept possibly) has me thinking that my body is breaking down and I will just fall out or something It makes me feel like I'm crazy

Take time to get hydrated, and distract your thinking. Good luck with the doctor's appointment.

Best wishes.

I do hope this turns out okay. Bleeding and pain could be fibroids, or perimenopause? Not necessarily cancer. I had periods that were like a tsunami and a large lump in my abdomen, which hurt a lot, and it all turned out to be fibroids. they have me on cerazette, a kind of contraception pill where you don't get periods (you don't build the lining up in the uterus) and so not only do I no longer get this nightmare, but I no longer get periods at all. Bonus. :D
