#but what is my mind spiraling to? stage 4 breast cancer of course

[ghwosty]

hm hypochondria is a hell of a type of anxiety that I suffer from and occasionally creeps back up on me over the smallest of triggers

#my skin is really sensitive and I've been trying different soaps and lotions lately just to see if anything helps #but with that trial and error comes small rashes and contact dermatitis if the 'hypoallergenic' claims are bogus #but rn there's a small bit of dermatitis near and almost on my breast #but what is my mind spiraling to? stage 4 breast cancer of course #of course I occasionally do self checks like ya should #I don't feel anything but the thing about hypochondria is my brain can easily make me feel lumps that aren't actually there #bc hypochondria is also a type of delusional thinking #my brain will trick me into feeling phantom aches and pains and sensations and i hate it #it's a vicious spiral and i can easily work myself into an anxiety attack #I've had full flown panic attacks over thinking I had blood clots
