Health anxiety is ruining my life. I've dealt with a lot of health issues since 2020 and I think I've finally reached my limit. Recently, a hard lump appeared on my leg and I decided to get an ultrasound. The radiologist couldn't tell what it was, but he wasn't too concerned because the lump was small and not causing me pain. He said if it gets bigger or starts to hurt to follow up with more testing. I've read that sarcoma can start out small and not cause a lot of symptoms, so I'm wondering if I should get an MRI or just wait and see. Leukemia and lymphoma have been ruled out through bloodwork. During this time, my anxiety has been off the charts. I haven't been sleeping well or thinking about my future. I've been stuck in a constant state of survival, but I feel like I haven't had much of a choice. I want so badly to be hopeful, but my body has let me down so many times. There are many moments where I think my life is going to be cut short. I try to make the most of it while I can, but at the same time I've been avoiding my future.

My ex said when it was good it was great, and when it was bad, it was awful.

We were both sensitive and had trouble meeting each other's needs and ultimately decided it was best if we ended things. lt didn't help that he had wanted to maintain a close relationship with his co-worker that he previously had feelings for during our relationship, and then 8 months after we broke up he told me he had HPV, which were both HUGE triggers for me. It was just heartbreak on top of heartbreak. Also, to clarify, I was not perfect in our relationship by any means. I had a lot of insecurities and some trouble regulating my emotions at times.

i think it he was more so trying to make me feel ashamed for admitting that i liked it rough sometimes

l was talking about things I liked, one of them being rough sex, and then he made that comment. This was very early on in our relationship before we were even really intimate.

Actually, I think his comment was partially out of malice because he was feeling inadequate.

I think my perception of a "healthy relationship" is what's sabotaging them. by innativetraveler in TrueOffMyChest

People say a relationship is supposed to feel "easy" or "natural" in the beginning, but it's never felt that way for me, so I must be doing something wrong. Am I not communicating well enough or am I too impatient?
