Constant breast checking

[Donnamarie85]

Hello so I suffer servere health anxiety and constantly checking my breasts anyone else similar

Yes. I have health anxiety too and went through a phase of obsessive breast checking and prodding to the point that they were sore & bleeding. I did get referred to the breast clinic for reassurance which I got but the problem is that I simply moved onto something else. They key is tackling the health anxiety itself of which I've had limited success sadly.

I'm waiting on CBT I actually can't wait just want to feel normal if that's even possible 😔

I suffer with the same thing.
I check constantly.
I even check with soap on my hands a knees. I always need reassurance from my doctor.
does anyone else check like this?

Do you have family history of breast cancer?

If not they why are you so concerned?

If yes .. then can you just ask for a mammogram once a year? Or pay for one.

Then just try not to worry in between.

The only family history is my grandmother on my dads side.. she was diagnosed when she was 81

I feel more standing and bending over than lying down.
