...See more TRIGGER WARNING for general mentions of breast cancer and self examining ----- hi, this post is a little soon after asking if it was okay for me to ask questions here but i've specifically had this on my mind. my health anxiety spiral recently has stemmed from a previous health concern not really related to this at all, a false alarm regarding the heart 2 weeks ago that got examined with a normal x ray and other tests. this is kind of important for context though which is why i say it. my anxiety about that has definitely lessened, and this past saturday i actually began to feel pretty okay about it before anxiety began popping back up on sunday. i say all of this because something that started the returning anxiety was a general coming and going sore feeling in the breasts, but by now im definitely also having other symptoms that can be related to pms- general body aches, fatigue yet trouble sleeping, not feeling well, even a couple pimples popping up, etc; everything but the cramping, basically. but i can't stop having the thought like "the x ray should have caught something, but what if something in the last 2 weeks has changed?" i've checked myself, even the underarms where the lymph nodes would be, and nothing feels or looks wrong aside from the tender feeling. and in the next couple days is probably when my period should come around, but there is a high chance i have pcos (i haven't been diagnosed, but i show many symptoms that lead back to it) so every month is like a guessing game of whether or not i'll get it even if i have feelings of pms. for once, getting it would bring me peace of mind rather than dysphoria, so i'm hopeful i do. but right now im struggling to not immediately assume the worst and make myself panic because i won't feel any better if i do.
quick question.?

...See more as a mostly closeted (irl at least) and pre-t trans man is it appropriate to ask questions here? because i still have had women's issues and experiences especially in health related things but i do completely understand if i shouldn't. i just wasn't sure either way because i don't. identify as a woman yet i still know what it's like to be one. if that makes sense. IF NOT a quick no is completely fine there's no hard feelings !! it's just a weird position to be in

confused and trying to process my feelings

...See more hi, i was originally bringing these feelings into the anxiety support forum but i can't help wondering if this is also a bit of a trauma thing.? close to 2 weeks ago now, i had gone to the hospital because some pains i was feeling (that im now also thinking some were amplified by anxiety) made me concerned about the potential of something being wrong with my heart. i was told everything looked okay, and my tests came back normal, so i feel like that should have been it. instead, for about a week now i've been almost nothing but in a consistent state of worry and anxiety. i've gotten reassurance from multiple people that if something was wrong, they would have seen so in the x-rays and other tests they did. being at home makes these feelings worse, and i've even been calling it an association trigger but have only watered it down to anxiety. i know anything can be traumatic and there's not one set criteria for everyone, but i almost don't want to admit this has affected me that way, since nothing even ended up being wrong. but i'm struggling to process these feelings after going through the stress of thinking i may have almost gone through a life threatening event at a rather young age.

...See more some days ago when i first joined, i was seeking advice for dealing with extreme health anxiety that was causing me physical symptoms (such as slight nausea, difficulty sleeping, and aches and pains in my upper body; especially my chest, ribs, and arms). im still dealing with this anxiety, but im not sure it's healrg anxiety anymore. i know nothing is seriously wrong with me because any time im outside, or away from home for a while, i feel much more relaxed and my anxiety doesn't flare up- until i come home. now, being at home, especially in my room for too long, is making my anxiety flare back up like some kind of association trigger. i recently got hired for a job, and im hoping being out more often will help me, but im still hoping to find other solutions, as seeking a prescription for medication won't be possible for a while until i can get the money to do so.

...See more i am not asking for medical advice with this post. just wanted to clarify that first !! this past wednesday, i made a trip to the er out of growing concern i was having about general chest/shoulder pain- everything came back normal, and my physician told me my risk level was statistically the lowest it could be. the pain and discomfort has even started going away, but suddenly ive been having bouts of bad anxiety again that are manifesting physical symptoms and even making it hard to sleep. friends have suggested i seek anxiety medication asap but at this point in time it would be very difficult financially to access it. i don't want to keep bothering them with this and am wondering if anyone here has advice or tips 😓 this is just a kind of anxiety i haven't dealt with really before, at least not to this extent, and i don't know how to handle it
