After a day of sobbing and showing customers my boobs ...I met with my therapist and she had a few tidbits for me.
1. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Duh.
2. My parents told me how special I was all the time growing up and now, I'm so special, I can get an extremely rare cancer. (??)
3. I need to stay off the internet and stop reading medical info.
4. Despite all the medical knowledge I do know, I am not a breast specialist, a surgeon, or an Obgyn. I did not go to medical school.
5. Everyday is a blessing. Treat it like one.
6. Get on Lexapro as soon as I'm not pregnant anymore. It will tone down the obsessive thoughts.
7. I should be a stand-up comedian. She really believes I have the chops. And she is a smart woman.
I feel better now and think I can calmly wait until my biopsy on Wednesday. I'll try not to keep showing people my boobs.
