Lump behind my ear…cysts or who knows. Anxiety thru the roof

I have horrible health anxiety and I have been in this type of anxiety spiral SO MANY times. Its so so scary when you've convinced yourself that something is life or death. And from my own experience, literally nothing that I've convinced myself is a life or death situation has actually been life or death. I've had all kinds of lumps and bumbs and cysts and it's all been totally fine. I hope that helps.

And also, I was terrified for YEARS to talk to my doctor about going on medication for my anxiety.. because my anxiety convinced me that even medication could be life or death 🙃 but I finally had to do something and I am soooooo happy I finally decided to go on medication. It has given me so much relief and helped me stop catastrophizing.

I have so much confidence that this bump behind your ear will be okay 💛

thank you for taking the time to read and respond.. your experience sounds so familiar to mine. My husband has been my saving grace in reminding me of all the concerns and worry I’ve had have never been anything.

But we know how the spiral goes. I think now having a child I fear so much him ever losing a parent and growing up without one of us. So everything is more intensified.

I pray to God and I try to find comfort in that if it is something or not, I have faith in medicine and in my belief in God to get me through it at the end of the day…

You helped a lot 💕
