Hi, ive been trying to trace back to the thing that caused all my anxiety to help me calm down.... so back in march i was sleeping and in the middle of the night i get this very sharp pain in the side of my left breast which caused me to kind of wake up but i was still somewhat asleep because my eyes were closed. i rolled over to message my breast and as i am doing so i feel a hard lump and i say to my self "its breast cancer". my eyes shot open and i was a little shaken but i didnt think anything of it until the week after i actually did this school report on this lady who found out she had breast cancer through a dream. (also, i didnt have a hard lump, somehow i imagined i felt it) literally ever since that day ive convinced myself ive had breast cancer, which is dumb because i am only 20 and i dont think i have a real reason to be concerned... the day before i was shocked to find out my friends mom had breast cancer so maybe that triggered my worry... i went to the doctor and she told me i was fine and not to worry but ever since then i keep thinking my weird dream thing was warning me of the future. i know thats dumb and i tend to over think a lot when it comes to that stuff but its really eating me a live. i still get those sharp breast pains but i think it could be because i have back issues?? they still scare me too. should i at all be worried?? before this happened i used to be so happy but now i feel like i cant be because of this fear of breast cancer :(
you really have no reason to be worried as your doctor has confirmed. I know it’s not easy to stop your mind working on negative thoughts so try to keep yourself occupied and try some physical exercise. I find going for a walk can work wonders.
