I went to the Doctor's today about my lymph nodes that I thought were swollen, but turns out they all good apparently. She said she couldn't even feel them. I can't feel them as much as I used to, but I'm just worried that she didn't feel them because my neck was in the wrong position. I can't feel them so maybe it was due to my anxiety? I don't know. I just can't seem to shake this worry of Lymphoma and now I'm starting to get all existential and worry about how we can't control life or death and what happens.

Any advice for overcoming this?

Okay. This is over

If you're gonna be anxious, find a new trigger. This one has been debunked

The point is that it is anxiety. Focus on anything long enough and its your new trigger

The docs have said you are fine. Your neck position is a huge stretch on why they didn't feel them swollen

The rational you knows this

You are just listening to your anxious mind instead of your rational mind

Don't worry about your lymphnodes. YOU ARE FINE. there is nothing wrong with you!! just try keep your mind occupied and away from free time which you can think about this! it helps for me.. try looking in the mirror and telling yourself IM FINE!! I do that sometimes and it works!
