Blood test results.....

Is it just me???? I had my routine blood tests last Thursday and I'm literally crippled with anxiety waiting for the results. I can't think about anything else!!! All day everyday this is on my mind!! Am I the only one that feels this way????? Because it seems like no one around me really understands at all. All I keep thinking is what if something comes back that shows the c word is present, or something else??? And any second I feel an ounce of happiness, the thoughts come rushing back!!!!!! It's like I feel like if I don't think about it all day then I won't be prepared for possible devastating news smh. I can't function, I'm snappy with everyone even my little girl and I don't mean to be at all. I can barely laugh at anything smh I'm a true mess. This is the absolute WORST my health anxiety has been since it started and it's truly tiring and depressing. Why do I feel like this waiting for these results????!???? I can't tell if it's anxiety or my intuition telling me that terrible news is coming 😔

I know what your going through, I had chest X-ray because my head cold went to my chest and I've been coughing for 10 days and X-ray showed pneumonia and they said they will check again in 3 weeks and if it's in the X-ray they will do another round of antibiotics band a Ct and it's freaking me out if they might see something else and no one under why I'm crying

Hey Lynl, omg isn't it torture????? Is it on your mind like all day everyday???? And is it hard for you to enjoy things you normally do or would???? My man just told me we're going to the LA Fair this weekend and all I can think of is bad news from the Dr and unable to enjoy anything at all smh. Normally I would be so excited for the coming weekend but I don't even wanna go smh I believe you're fine and that pneumonia will clear right up!! They will not see anything else at all

Thank you, I'm sure you are fine too. It's the waiting game that sucks too. I also have tickets I saved to get good seats to see a show and I was so freaking excited to go this Sunday, and now I really don't care. I can't shake the worry. When I called back twice to the doctors she acted like I was nuts fir asking these questions. Even my family said , "they told You pneumonia ". And that I'm creating a whole new scenario, but I just went through a colonoscopy that I asked for and thank God it wasn't cancer , and it was colitis, but until I asked,,, they said it was probably a bleeding hemroid and they were wrong. I know they arnt God but this is my health.

Hi ~the same thing happened to me ~I had routine mammogram ~but was told I'd get results within 2~3 weeks!!Honestly during the waiting time I put my whole life on hold ~didn't meet up with pals for a cuppa etc and also imagined the worst ~anyways results came back fine phew!!Think us anxiety sufferers always imagine the worst!!Hope all comes back fine for you ~in the meantime take it easy!!🌷

Thank you so much kittykat, I truly appreciate your response. I'm trying my hardest to take it easy, but the more I do, the more I can't imagine anything but bad news smh, I won't text friends back or answer calls anything smh. My guy told me to keep checking online for my posted results once a day but I'm even afraid to do that smh. But I'm going to try my best to take it easy. Waiting like this is so scary and all I can do is catastrophize smh

Thing is here ~Mr Anxiety is having a wonderful time here with you ~clapping his hands in glee ~if it all takes over too much ~give your GP a call and explain your fears and ask if you can have your results as it's affecting your well-being ~know what it's like waiting ~an absolute nightmare!! Let me know when you get your results!!

Wishing you Well!🌷
