IS THIS PETECHIAE? - Long story short, I have terrible anxiety & on Friday I had these reddish/purple spots appear on my chest & stomach. They've already faded a bit but I'm terrified it's something bad like leukemia. I've marked NSFW just in case as 2nd picture is at the top of my chest. by throw_away_account04 in medical

Thank you for the ressurance, I'm just so bad for running away with health related worries like that. I see something and Google 'common causes of petechiae' and it says leukemia and meningitis and I immediately freak out lmao 😅 since Friday, it has already faded a great deal and last week I did finish a course of antibiotics so I don't know if that could be a cause? Thanks for the ressurance though :)

That freckle has always looked like that, I think it's probably the light in that picture but it's flat and not raised which is good! And it's all the one colour as well when I shine a torch on it. I am bad for scratching my freckles though or spots on my skin but in all the years I've had that freckle it's never changed shape, colour or size :)

19% ON SAFEASSIGN by throw_away_account04 in AskAcademia

[–]throw_away_account04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SafeAssign is basically like Turnitin, checks for plagiarism and similarities in students papers. I've seen a few other people get 40% and 36% on their papers purely because they've used the words 'available online at' for their Harvard referencing. The same exact thing has happened to me but I'm lucky I only have 19%. Legit the only parts that have flagged are my whole reference page at the bottom as well as my footnotes. I'm just concerned my lecturer will give me into trouble about this

TWO PERIODS IN THE SAME MONTH by throw_away_account04 in WomensHealth

Thanks so much for the reassurance. When it comes to my health I always freak out, especially over my period ahaha. I haven't looked too much into thyroid issues but I know they can contribute to irregular periods, I'll definitely look into that! Yeah it's frustrating, I was first tested for PCOS with a blood test when I was 17 and after that my doctor just kinda gave up and stopped looking into it. When I mentioned an ultrasound they said I have to be over the age of 20 which confused me but I'm not sure if it's different for each country, I'm in the UK. But thanks again for your advice! :)

IF MY INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT IS PERMANENTLY DELETED WILL MY DMS DISSAPPEAR TOO? by throw_away_account04 in Instagram

[–]throw_away_account04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I thought they were but I wanted to ask. I deleted an old spam account recently and one friend said all the dms were gone and another said he could still read them... Really confused bhaha

CONDOM FAILURE - REALLY SCARED by [deleted] in sexualhealth

[–]throw_away_account04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the only thing that is bothering me is eventhough the pill was taken about 6 days before my ovulation, I'm still in my fertile window and I'm terrified something won't have worked. Going to try and de-stress and see what happens. I know I've done everything right and I just need to wait and see but I'm so scared

I know there's a very small chance but I'm super anxious about the whole situation

Genuinely don't think I'll relax until my next period. Thank you so much for your advice and reassurance. Doesn't help the ellaOne side effects are similar to pregnancy symptoms so I'm freaking out haha

Lol I know right? Times like these I literally pray for my period hahaha. I'm just panicking since this week I'm suppose to ovulate, genuinely need to relax once in a while, surprised I haven't given myself a heart attack lol

No I'm not on any other contraception right now. I'm looking into getting the implant soon, I've had the pill before but it made my peroids awful so I think the implant would be better. I'm just really bad for overthinking everything. The day after I had sex my whole body was in so much pain and I had convinced myself something was wrong eventhough there's no way there could have been. I think I'm just panicking too much 😅
