Correlation between healthy anxiety and fear/feeling of not living a long life (TW discussions about dying)

I feel like the main reason why my health anxiety started in the first place is because of just a feeling that I was going to >!d*3!< early in life. Every benign or normal feeling that I have I automatically assume the worst because of this. I just never envision myself with a family or like a normal adult life so I just assume I’m not going to experience it. This may be really morbid, but do any of you guys relate to this feeling?

Mole on sternum/ chest

I have had this mole for a while. It has gotten slightly larger since a year. It doesn’t itch or bleed. I’m probably going to get a dermatology appointment anyways, but do you think this mole is worrying enough to ask for a sooner appointment. All the other appointments are months away 😓I’m a 19 female btw

Small dot/ mole looking thing that appeared on the side of breast

This mole/dot appears on the side of my breast. I think it may have gotten slightly larger from a week ago but I don’t really know? The inside or main part of this dot looks red. It has been worrying me. I’ve been thinking of booking a dermatology appointment but all the available appointments are months away. Do you think this matter is urgent or do you think I can just wait? Does it look malignant? I know a picture can’t tell much I just want to know what my next plan of action should be. I’m a 19f btw. Thank you so much!

What to do when health anxiety s-mptoms arise

I’ve been going through a bad flare up with physical s-mptoms the past three weeks. What helps me the most is to realize if s-mptoms happen randomly within a short amount of time, the likelihood of it being a dangerous illness (you know what I’m talking about) is very unlikely because it takes time/ months to progress. Like those types of s-mptoms do not show up within days, so stop worrying!! The answer for your s-mptoms is likely something less alarming. This may not make sense, but this is what helps me cope during bad ha flare ups!

▲ 4 r/scoliosis

Late severe scoliosis diagnosis

Hey guys. I’ve been very lost and distraught the past few days. I just got diagnosed with severe scoliosis at age 19 and I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon by my PCP. Every single time I got a physical done in high school they observed it and it was said it was nothing to worry about, and they said I didn’t need an x ray. I just got one done and it’s really severe. I’m so scared. I really don’t want surgery, and I know I’m too old now and suffer a greater risk of complications. Also, I suffer almost zero pain from it. I don’t want to get surgery, because I’m so scared of the potential pain and complications. Is there any way I can delay progression and “correct” it without surgery? Every single place I look sources claim that surgery is the only real option. I don’t think I’m mentally nor physically strong enough to undergo it right now. Any support and encouragement is much appreciated!! (Also I’m a female btw!!)
