hi feeling low today and worried about a few things ,just wanted someone to talk to really ..
thanks

hi matnanplus , how r you ?

Hi Mumof2000!

What is the problem ??? I'm free if you want to chat !x

I am good TY Mumof2000.

Off to meet an internet contact of 2+yrs in the flesh at 11.

It is the week as i meet a MNer on Wednesday.

Why are you feeling low today?

Any worries we can help you with?

thanks , im worrying about a health issue getting myself in knots and googled that doesnt help ...

i have had cloudy mucus thing in mornings for a while now and sometimes in day , along with feeling like i need to swallow alot ... this im sure is made worse by me stressing ....also i saw on tv a thing about oral & throat C and this has sent me spinning ...also checking for lumps spots in my mouth ,i can see a few thigs but to be honest i dont know if they are ok or not ..
i have suffered with health Anx for sometime now and am bad at moment ...

i spoke to doc this morning who was nice said she doesnt think it could be anything like that but will see me tomorrow to try and put my mind at rest .

thanks for listening

Glad i could be here.

Read you 'cloudy mucus' and thought downstairs not upstairs

Hope Dr can reassure you.

googling isn't advisable unless you have the facts and are just confirming them or looking for more 'life experiences' to be honest.

oops cloudy mucus in my mouth ...

thanks for listening

ell i went on monday but he didnt really look i dont think , a crown fell out so was just putting that back in ..

my imagenation just goes wild when im like this always thinking WCS ..and evon if ,..if something was wrong caught early can be sorted out ..

sorry dont want to depress anyone ,but i do feel very alone ...wit h my anx ...

thanks sor listening all x

not depressed me

thanks ruby , just feel so tearful ....anx is a horrid thing ...

Hi mumof2000, that sounds a bit like my disgusting mouth/throat. I always seem to have disgusting lumps on my tonsils and the arch bit in front of it - sorry is that tmi? - and it's hard not to worry about them, isn't it?

Does it hurt at all? Because, if it does, and you're not pg/bfing like I am at the mo, I've always found that gargling with soluble aspirin really helps to kill the pain (swallow it afterwards for max benefits obviously).

Can you do something to distract yourself today? Have you got little ones at home with you? Trip to park? Coffee shop?

it is hard specially when i get a thought in my head like this and it just wont go away till i get it checked out ...

Can you try the breathing in through your nose then exhaling very slowly out through your mouth thing? That does help me when I'm having anxiety.

thanks all , no pain in throat or mouth , just swallowing feeling and under tounge by lower veiny but i noticed whitish thing as i said may be nothing but googled and said poss mouth C so now in rears with worry ...and no physical illness , H anx triggered a few years ago by cyst i had on hand i think and since then any thing i get i worry and think WCS i have IBS and of course worried was something els till had lots of tests to rule things out ..

I get the swallowing thing when I'm anxious too, so could that be the same for you?

Do you have any strategies that help you to relax when you're feeling anxious?

Would chatting about something else help?

i dont know , i feel so worried cant think what els to do , maybe i should call dentist ....but in tears cant talk ..

going to see doc bout throat thing tomorrow will she no about mouth c things to?

I'm sure GP will be able to give you a referral if you need one. Have you ever talked to them about your anxiety? They might be able to help with that too.

Do you have a garden you can go into and just breathe? Or a balcony, or open window and lean out? Try that now for 5 mins and then come back.

If I'm not here when you get back it will because ds has woken up and needs feeding btw.

ok thanks

had shower feel bit calmer now should i try get to see a dentist or wait till tomorrow ?

thanks or listening all feeling a bit calmer now will see doc tomorrow and ask advice on mouth and throat and anx to .

thanks again xx

Well done mumof2000 - sounds like you found something that works for you. Remember you can always make an appointment to see the dentist after doc if you're not happy with how that goes.
