Paranoid?
I said in the original post, I didn’t google it because I have health anxiety! And I’m already receiving help for it thank you very much, and one of the first things you are told once asking for help is to stay away from Google and researching anything medical online yourself, so I came to Mumsnet and asked other parents, to see if anyone could offer any insight. And if you read the comments, sure enough there was others whose children had the same thing.
It’s not paranoia to be worried after finding a lump on your child, and then to go and see a qualified medic about what it could be. My daughter wasn’t even aware why we was going to the GP in the first place! All she was told was “just wanting to see if you’re becoming a big girly” she was happy enough to be checked over by the ANP, and was even given a sticker as the lady was so surprised DD was that willing to talk and let her examine.
Mumsnet is a fantastic place to come to when you’re wanting advice of other parents, however it also can be a shitty place with certain posters the moment you mention you have anxiety or any kind of mental health issue, as it’s automatically thought you allow this to show in front of children and or you’re not seeking help for it.
I weren’t going to reply to you again @Lanzarotelady, because all that was important to me is that my child was fine, and whatever the lump was, wasn’t anything that could cause her discomfort or pain. But I will say this to you, and then I’m leaving this forum open for any other parent who may someday in the future find a lump on their young daughters body, and find themselves a little worried.
I sure hope nobody you know in your personal life ever comes to you in need of advice or support if they have a mental health disorder, your blatant shaming and disrespect is wild, and the audacity you have to say my child could pick up on my condition and be “ paranoid “ all from what I wrote on a Mumsnet post.
Does this mean any children you have based on the attitude in your comments is as ignorant and disrespectful as you? Because disrespect is also absorbent to a child.
To everyone else, thank you to those who shared stories of similar events, as I said in my OP she is my only child, so hadn’t gone through anything similar that I could’ve related to, all of puberty is still very much new to me, and I naively wasn’t expecting to deal with any kind of hormonal changes at such a young age. Once again thanks, and I hope everyone takes care.
