Testing scares

Recommended Posts

Hi friends. It's been a while! I hope you're all doing okay in this difficult time and that you are coping. I've been feeling a lot better lately (which may be why I haven't been around a lot).

Lately though, my anxiety is on FIRE. Not because of anything major, but because I have so many regrets about the (unnecessary) testing I've had over my years of health anxiety. A couple chest X-rays, a mammogram, a neck CT and a head CT. I'm only 28 and it's been over the course of 8 ish years. I feel so guilty and scared, like I've given myself cancer or something from all the radiation. I've been worried almost daily lately that the damage is done and I've ruined my body/health. 
 

Can anyone relate to this? I'm struggling so much.

I’m 30 and am right there with you. Had around 4 ct scans and now am in the midst of another bt worry. Worried all the testing has now given me a real reason to be tested. 

It’s the terrible cycle of anxiety!
