Been fine for months now going down hill
Hello
I think we are all apprehensive when going for tests what the results may be & when we have anxiety we are so negative that we always think the worse may happen we seem to struggle with positive thinking when it is something that we fear
When I get these thoughts I have to try & put things in perspective like asking myself what are the odds that something will be wrong , usually the answer is very slim indeed & then I tell myself positives like they are so good nowadays that these tests are there for a very good reason so if that miniscule of a chance something was wrong they would be right on it & make me better before things went to far , we are lucky really that these tests are available to us & I have to remind myself of that to , hard I know when you fear but try & turn your thoughts around & also tell the nurse just how worried you are , ask when is the earliest you can get the results back sometimes it can be only a couple of days you have to wait & you will soon have peace of mind x
