I went for a breast MRI last week due to an abnormal mammogram. It came back abnormal again. It detected something different from what I was originally sent for.
This time last year I had an abnormal mammogram and ended up needing a breast biopsy, thank God it was fine. It was the stress and anxiety of that theat started a major flareup of anxiety and panic attacks. That episode helped me start this program.
I am scared that this new issue and possible biopsy is enough to kick off the hell I went thorugh last year. I restarted the program just recently, today starting lesson 3, because things were starting to get weird again for me , after the abnormal mammogram in early Nov.
I know I am my own safe place and safe person but if anyone has words of encouragement/recommnedations I really need to hear it.
Thank you for listening. Take care and God Bless.
I need a little encouragement

All I can say is that I will pray for you. Beleive that things will work out just fine. Do not anticipate the worst. It may be nothing. Is it really worth to set your self up with anxiety an panic before knowing the result? You are your safe person your haven but, ask the good Lord to help. He does listen!! Do not assume that it will be something awful. 10% is what happens to you in life and 90% how you react to it. Believe what is good. you can do it . We are all together!!

Thank you both so much. The support on this site is so amazing. I guess what I fear the most is the feelings that come after the stressful event. Last year i got through the tests, the biopsy and the results and Thank God they were fine. I think it was all the body stuff that got me so anxious/depressed.
I know everything will work out fine because God is always there for me. What I am fearing is the body feelings when its over. Last year I did not allow myself to acknowledge any of the fear while all these tests where going on. Everyone told me don't think about it. I think what I did was start obessessing and overanalzying everything else in my life and in doing so made my life a living hell last year with obess scary thinking. I was to the point of being paralyzed with fear over the past mistakes and just negative horrible thinking. But Thank God I found this program, which has been a blessing.
I think I need to acknowledge my fear over having to undergo all this again but the key is to tell myself it's ok to feel fear. That's its normal to feel this way and breathe.
I think I just needed to vent to you all as you know what's its like to be blessed with creative and imaginative thoughts.
Thank you again for listening. Take care and God Bless.

I will pray for you. Also, please be carefull what you let scare you too bad there. I went into a doctor's office crying, begging, litterally for him to see me for the 30 bucks that I had because I had found a large lump, nad several small ones. After months of agonizing fear, much like you are going through, I found out that I have Fibrocystic breast. Stress, caffiene, fatty foods, just a countless array of things can cause my condition to get very bad, and VERY scarey. Maybe you just have something harmless, but painfull and scarey like I do - BUT, please don't make your pain worse by stressing over it. Stress will not only make your physical pain worse, but when it is something like your breast (or life) that you are worried about I know it is hard. Just keep telling yourself that it will be ok. Cut back on caffiene and fatty foods, ESPECIALLY Transfats, as they are more harmfull to fibrocystic disease than other bad fats. Keep your chin up, and we will all keep the prayers up.
Good Luck!

Like the others, I too will keep you in my prayers. I know that our thoughts can sometimes get the best of us; but try to think positive. Ask God to give your peace and strength to handle whatever comes your way. He never gives us more than we can bear ( although we often think so). Stay positive and stay prayful, everthing will work out. God Bless!
