I try to write something funny every year but I can’t think of anything this year.

So I was on Paxil for years and then it stopped working so my doctor switched me over to Prozac and I started out at 10 mg and I took that for a week and after a week I upped it to 20 mg and I’ve been taking the 20 mg for about a week and a half or so, but I noticed Around the time when I started the tens it almost felt like my nipples were chafed kind of like when you sweat a lot and your shirt rubs, but they looked fine and then it went away for a little bit and then now that I’ve updated it. It’s coming back again and it’s not super bad or anything like that, but I just thought it was kind of a weird feeling and didn’t know if anyone else has had this I googled it, and it says that it can affect your nipples I was just seeing if anyone else has ever had anything similar to this and if you did, how long did it last or how did it feel for you?

So this doesn’t happen every cycle but maybe every 2-3 but right after my fertile period is over I will pee more and feel like I need to pee again an hour after going. No burning or pain or anything. I have had urinalysis several times before when this happens always negative and it goes away when my period starts but I just deal with this for like 1.5-2 weeks until my period starts. Is this normal? Anyone else have this?

So this doesn’t happen to me every cycle but every maybe 2 to 3 cycles as soon as my fertile periods over, I’ll have like a more sensitive bladder. I guess I would say and I pee more often and it never burns or has a smell or anything like that so and the first couple times this happened each time I would go and have a urinalysis done and I’ve never had any UTIs or anything so I just assume it has something to do with my cycle is it may be like hormonal shifts or maybe it’s just my uterus Pushing down on my bladder I do have ovarian cyst so maybe that has something to do with it as well? Once my period starts it all goes away.

OK, kind of weird and TMI but for the past two or three days, I’ve noticed like when I’m in the shower or if mine nipple isn’t covered with a Band-Aid it kinda hurts a little bit like it’s sensitive and burns a little bit when I’m in the shower and it looks fine Maybe a little bit irritated, but I have no lumps or discharge or anything like that and earlier this week when it was almost like 100° I went for a long walk and sweated like crazy so maybe my bra rubbing against it cause it to shave a little bit and maybe that’s why it’s hurting because as long as I have it covered with a Band-Aid I have no issues no pain no nothing but in my head I worry that it’s like breast cancer at 28 or something.

So I think I have a new disease every few weeks. Just within the last 2 months it’s been heart attack, MS, leukemia. Now tmi but one nipple has been a little sore. I think it’s where it’s been so hot and I sweat a lot making my nipples rub in my bra. I put Vaseline on it and cover with bandaid and it feels fine but if I don’t it feels a little sore. So a normal person would be like oh it’s just chapped but in my head I’m like what if this is breast cancer at 28 years old.

So a couple weeks ago, when I was in one of my spirals, I was focusing about cancer, and apparently one of the symptoms of certain kinds of cancer is severe drenching night sweats and I’ve always kind of sweated a little bit at night time, but never enough to like wear my clothes get wet or anything but now that’s throw me down the rabbit hole thinking OK maybe you really do have something because you sweat a little bit at night time sometimes.

Does anyone else ever get anxious about their weight like if you eat a lot one day and then you weigh yourself the next day you expect that you’ve gained weight but if you haven’t, then it makes me panic cause then I think OK what if I have cancer and don’t know it and this is that unexplained weight loss everyone’s talking about When in reality I’ve lost about a pound or so in two weeks but in my head, I should’ve gained weight because I’ve been eating but there was a few days where I wasn’t really eating at all because I was so anxious so maybe my body just hasn’t recovered from that yet

So for the past 2 to 3 weeks, I’ve been worrying about leukemia all because my dog jumped on me and I had a bruise on my thigh that I felt like was taking too long to heal now it’s yellow and barely there, but I also had a very light bruise on my shin that I wasn’t for sure how I got so I start panicking thinking that I have leukemia at 28 years old so of course I start googling things and checking things And I get myself into such a panic that I paid out of pocket to have a CBC test done that showed all my blood levels are dead center normal in range which I still wasn’t convincing myself because I was like oh what if the blood test is wrong so I finally went to see my doctor today and I mentioned to him I was like, hey I’m scared of leukemia all because I have these two bruises I had a CBC done and everything was normal. Should I worry and he just like flat out like no if your blood work was OK then it’s OK so I kind of feel stupid, but I also feel a lot of relief and I’m just glad that I finally had the courage to go to the doctor instead of just sitting and worrying and crying day after day.

I can’t eat I can’t sleep all I do is worry and cry. I’m terrified of leukemia to the point I check my body several times a day looking for bruises and if I find one I absolutely panic. I paid out of pocket Tuesday for a cbc which all is normal but I worry what if I still have it.

So I was on Paxil for probably over 10 years maybe longer so I don’t really remember how I felt when I started it but I had to stop and went cold turkey on it and didn’t have anything for three months and then I just recently restarted it not even two weeks ago I’ve kind of felt like I don’t really care if I eat, and sometimes the thought of food kinda sounds gross, and I didn’t know if anyone else has ever had that? I think I’ve been back on it for 10 to 11 days now.

I am terrified of anything medical related and have severe health anxiety. Lately I have been scared of blood cancer but my cbc all came back normal so I feel kinda proud that I was able to beat my fear and go. Now will it last long probably not lol I will move onto a new fear but for now I have some peace.

I’m just so tired. It’s always something. First I thought it was a heart attack , then I was focusing on MS now I’m terrified of leukemia all because I had a tiny bruise on my thigh which is 90% gone now but then I started researching leukemia since I know it caused bruising and then it said people get red dots now I have been searching my body over and anytime I find a little red dot I begin to panic. I’m 28 and I’m already tired of this life

Every few weeks I get a new fear. First I was convinced I was having a heart attack, then it was MS now it’s leukemia. All because I have a tiny red dot on my stomach. I guess people with it get rashes of tiny red dots but I think they are in clusters. If I had leukemia I would think I would have some kind of symptoms. I’m 28 and I feel like my life is over because all I do is worry.

Can you guys please pray for me. I have very bad health anxiety and convince myself I have a new disease every few weeks. Just this month I have “had” a heart attack, MS and now I’m convinced I have leukemia. I’m 28 years old and life is starting to feel like a burden with all this worrying.

I have a new hyper fixation disease and the odds of someone in my age range (28 yrs) is less than 1 in 100,000 and yet I worry that I’m going to be that 1.

It is literally several diseases a month I can start off thinking I’m having a heart attack and I’ll worry about that for two weeks and then it’ll move onto MS and I’ll worry about that for two weeks and then I’ll move on and it’ll be blood clots worry about that for a few weeks now I’m worried about leukemia. I’m 28. I don’t even think the odds of me having leukemia are that high but I constantly worry that I’m that one percent.

It seems like every week I have a new rare disease so two or three weeks ago. It was heart attack now this week. I have a fear of leukemia. I am 28 years old so I know the odds of me either having a heart attack or leukemia are pretty slim, but I still have that constant fear and I’m always checking my body so when I was scared of heart attacks, I would have chest pain, arm, pain, jaw pain, and now the fear has passed and so have the symptoms. and now I found a small yellow bruise on my thigh that I don’t remember ever getting and then there’s another small yellow bruise on top of my arm, I have convinced myself is leukemia. It’s a never-ending cycle.

Went to dr today and was super nervous. I’m terrified of getting my bp taken. At home when I checked it it was 117/78 but today at dr my heart rate was 155 and bp was 150/80 so now I’m panicking that I have high blood pressure and don’t know it. The dr did not mention it so I think he knew it was just anxiety but my mind just runs wild.

So I have a check up tomorrow. I have put it off for over a year so it has been 2 years since my last one. I’m terrified that 1. My bp will be high. It always is at dr but never at home and I worry they won’t believe me when I say it only high at Dr.
2. They are going to do blood work and I’m scared they will find something. Like I have become a severe type 2 diabetic in the last 2 years of my cholesterol is super high or liver is failing or something.
I’m 28 I’m too old to be so scared of the Dr. I get so embarrassed but I can’t help it.
