I was told she isnāt concerned that itās anything super serious, but she IS concerned enough to refer me to get imaging done bc she couldnāt tell anything from just the physical exam SO. Weāre just getting started I guess. At least Iām not scared Iāve got cancer anymore (mostly)
I feel like Iāve been nothing but mopey and detached for a while. If Iām not distracted by 6 things at once, thatās my default state lately. And itās not a mystery as to why, Iām just refusing to face it.
Iām fucking scared. And unlike most of the time when Iām just scared and anxious about some nebulous nothing, this is a tangible, physical Thing Iām scared about. Itās something REALLY hard to ignore, which is why I need so many distractions all the fucking time just to keep going.
I keep telling myself that Iāll have an answer in a couple weeks and itāll be better than the limbo Iām in, but Iām not even sure of that. Bc what if itās the worst case scenario? Ive spent so much time thinking about the worst case scenario. Every detail about what would happen in the worst case scenario has crossed my mind. Including the Extra Scary thought that if it IS the worst case scenario, would I even have the strength to fight it? Mentally or physically??
And then on the other side, what if they tell me nothings wrong. Bc I KNOW something is. This isnāt normal, and Iām scared Iāll be ignored and disregarded and not treated like a person like Iāve been at doctors in the past.
I want an answer and also donāt want an answer at the same time. I just donāt want it to be happening. Bc I was starting to feel so much better, and then this came along and ruined it all.
And add on top of this, I have so few people in my life willing to help and listen to me saying all this shit, bc Iām incapable of making new meaningful connections with people. I can count my friends/loved ones on one hand and have some fingers left. And those people are wonderful and I love them and appreciate them so much. And theyāre doing a lot to help. But bc theyāre all I have I feel like Iām asking too much of them. Itās all going on them with no breaks, and Iām making everything about myself. I canāt have a normal conversation with any of them anymore bc itās always just āhey distract me from my big scary thingā or āIām feeling bad about my big scary thingā. And they have other things to do. Unlike me, they actually have lives with other people in them. So I just retreat into myself and stop talking to them. Bc they donāt want to hear about this 24/7. Idk maybe thatās why Iām putting all this here.
Sitting in my net watching the mosquitos trying desperately to get to me. Haha. Get Reckt Idiot.
I got so mad that my new daily routine of sitting outside was interrupted by the arrival of The Mosquitos. Bc getting sun in the middle of the day has been genuinely good for my mental health. But for some reason, just potent mix of genetics I guess, I am a MAGNET for mosquitos.
Weāre talking, 5 minutes outside = 10 bites. If Iām with other people, theyāll be untouched, Iāll have all the bites. A vacation to the lake was once ruined for me when I stepped outside without repellent for 15 minutes and came back in with, no shit, I counted, 43 mosquito bites
I didnāt want to have to drench myself in Deep Woods Off just to sit outside for an hour everyday. So, stupid problems require stupid solutions, and I bought a hangable mosquito net for my porch. Welcome to my new clubhouse, No Mosquitos Allowed, fuck off.
