Hi
Thanks for reaching out. Consult a psychologist and explain about the symptoms and the tests that you have done. Based on what you have mentioned it seems like you are afraid of getting certain tests done. You often have anxious thoughts about your health. Try to not be so anxious. You want to talk about your symptoms and what you are going through with someone. I suggest that you consult a psychologist for counselling sessions. Talking to a psychologist will help you feel better. A psychologist will guide you with anxiety management techniques that can help you feel calm.

Hi, If fear of cancer is significantly impacting your life, it's crucial to address both the fear and potential risks. First, educate yourself about cancer from reliable sources to reduce uncertainty. Adopt a healthy lifestyle: follow a balanced diet, exercise regularly and avoid tobacco or alcohol consumption. Schedule regular medical check-ups and cancer screenings for early detection, which can provide peace of mind. Consider genetic counseling if you have a family history of cancer. To manage anxiety, seek support from a mental health professional who can help you develop effective coping strategies. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation or yoga. Stay informed about advancements in cancer prevention and treatment to feel more empowered. These steps can help you manage your fear and improve your quality of life

It's understandable to feel overwhelmed with fear, especially when it comes to health concerns. Remember that health anxiety is treatable, and seeking therapy can provide you with the support and tools to manage these fears effectively. Deep breathing exercises can help in the moment, and writing down your thoughts and fears can also provide some relief. However, for long-term management, therapy is highly recommended. Mind Sculpt offers affordable online sessions where you can work through these concerns with a professional. Many others have found relief from similar worries through therapy, and you're not alone in this journey.

Hi. Sorry to hear that and I can imagine how overwhelming and stressful this situation must be for you. It sounds like you are struggling with health anxiety and anxiety in general. I would recommend that you work with a psychologist to understand triggers and what led you to have such an extreme fear of cancer (family history, etc). They can also help you with some coping tools and exercises so that the anxious thoughts are managed in a healthier way.
