My anxiety is completely irrational, I know it is, but I'm still a wreck.

My mom died when I was a kid. She died at age 41 from leukemia. So many people used to tell me how I was "just like her." They were trying to be comforting.

Unfortunately in my little kid head that got a bit twisted. I came to believe I was also going to die in my 40s from cancer.

See what I mean about irrational?

I know intellectually it's not true, and yet every time I have a test done my anxiety sky rockets until I get the results back.

So I'm sitting here focusing on my breathing and waiting my turn.

Just got the report in saying "no suspicious abnormalities." Thanks for the support y'all!
