Hi .I haven't posted anything for a while now ,just wanted to give you all an update .So my health anxiety has got so much worse since I had a cervical polyp removed bk in November last year..my smear came bk normal but they found a polyp which sent me spiraling down the same old road of health anxiety ..I keep checking myself for a bleed after I wee ,I am doing this so many times a day it's becoming OCD now...I don't find any spotting all is clear when I wipe but I'm just paranoid all the time ,I am 64 and post menapausal since 2013..I was ok until I had my last smear last year ,I am seeing a mental health nurse every 2 weeks and he does seem to help me .I am on 30mg Prozac a day and amitriptyline at night 75mg they help me sleep ..I really do need to stop this checking every time I wee ,I am so petrified of any kind of cancer especially womb or ovaries ..Their is no gyny problems in our family but I'm just so scared all the time..is their anyone else out their that feels the same .sorry for long post 😘
