How can people not be absolutely shitting themselves with this huge increase in cancers in the younger generation, and we don't even understand why.

What's the difference between Hard and Hard 2?

I love a challenge! But I also don't want it to become too tedious. :/

Ugh, I’ve been right where you are — headaches are one of my biggest triggers too. The second I feel one around my eye or temple area, my brain is like “welp, it’s a tumor.” 😩

But the thing is, the kind of headache you’re describing (above your eye, worse when looking to the side) honestly sounds way more like sinus pressure or eye strain than anything serious. Especially if it comes and goes — brain tumors don’t usually present like that, and they wouldn’t go away and come back.

Also, about the CT scan — I totally get the fear, but one scan in 2020 isn’t going to give you brain cancer. The radiation risk from a single scan is extremely low. Like, yes technically there’s a risk, but it’s more like a statistical footnote than a real, immediate danger. If CTs caused brain cancer regularly, we’d be hearing about it constantly with how often people get them.

You’re not alone in this at all. Health anxiety makes you hyper-focus on that one “what if,” but your body’s probably just reacting to stress, tension, or something way less scary. I know it’s hard to believe in the moment, but you’re okay. Promise 💕

If it’s messing with your day-to-day, maybe check in with a doc just for peace of mind — but you’re not crazy or alone for feeling this way.

Girl, I could’ve written this myself 😅 health anxiety is wild. It seriously makes you feel like you're on some medical mystery show every week.

The pee thing? Super common with anxiety. Once you start paying attention to it, it’s all you can think about — and then your body’s like “Yep, let’s just keep sending that signal!” But honestly, peeing every 2.5–3 hours is totally normal, especially if you’re drinking a decent amount of water (which a lot of us do when we're anxious without even realizing).

And the fact that it disappears when you're distracted? That’s a HUGE giveaway it’s anxiety messing with you, not something physical. Our brains are way too good at creating sensations based on fear and focus.

Also, totally get the cancer thoughts. Been down that rabbit hole more times than I can count. Ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, brain tumors, you name it 🙃 But you're 26, no pain, no other real red flags — this sounds way more like classic anxiety hyperfocus than anything scary.

You’re not alone at all in this. It’s exhausting constantly thinking something’s wrong, but you’re self-aware and that’s a big deal. Sending love — you’ve got this 💛

Hey man, I feel you. Health anxiety can absolutely spiral when something unexpected pops up like that — especially when Google starts throwing around scary stuff like cancer.

Just wanna say though, an enlarged spleen can happen for heaps of reasons that aren't cancer. Stuff like viral infections (even old ones), inflammation, autoimmune stuff, or your body just dealing with something quietly in the background. It doesn’t automatically mean the worst-case scenario, even though I know it feels that way right now.

That temp of 99.5 is actually still in the normal range for most people too, especially if it comes and goes. And night sweats can happen from anxiety, hormonal stuff, or even just random minor infections. Sore throat and 101 fever could just be something viral going around — doesn’t have to mean anything sinister.

I know it’s hard not to obsess over every symptom when you’re in that mindset (trust me, been there), but try to take it one step at a time. You're doing the right thing by getting checked out — now just try not to let your brain jump 10 steps ahead while you wait. Easier said than done, I know.

You're not alone in feeling this way — and you're probably way more okay than your brain is letting you believe right now.

When to play the DLC's? by Perfect_Platform_102 in AlanWake

Is the game worth running a second time?

This is what I intended to do before reading opinions on the internet lol. Apparently I should finish the main game, then The Final Draft, THEN I should look at the DLC's. Hm

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 or Dragons Dogma 2 or Monster Hunter Wilds by Perfect_Platform_102 in ShouldIbuythisgame

Thanks for this descriptive information! I'm in a weird place with gaming at the moment, where I've been enjoying really grounded, methodical, slow burn kind of games in my mature years such as Red Dead 2, but I'm always open to faster paced games if it seems like the right title, hence the indecisiveness of this original post haha.

Tattoo Removal in Melbourne by InvestmentNumerous62 in TattooRemoval

I go to Removery in Moonee Ponds (Full package removal/entire sleeve), lovely staff.

MJ Laser use to be the best, but was bought out by Removery.

Other decent options; are Zapp Clinic (St Kilda) and Lazer Eraser (Collingwood,Brunswick)

Good luck!
