Every woman is reading this right now going “sounds about right.”

@Ashedryden
I feel like we should start a hashtag for it, like:
#ItWasntAnxiety and then you add what it ended up being for you.
For me, #ItWasntAnxiety it was POTS and May-Thurner Syndrome.
@3TomatoesShort @Ashedryden #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was rheumatoid arthritis, #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was Hashimoto's Thyroidism, #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was basal cell carcinoma (prolly just a single small spot of anxiety-induced psoriasis...that doesn't itch...or hurt...because prolly the anxiety is preventing you from feeling it...oh but that other pain? That pain is all in your head, eat less western food)
@Bumblefish @3TomatoesShort @Ashedryden for mum it wasn't anxiety or stress from becoming a widow, it was pancreatic cancer, stage 4 before it was discovered, but would have stage 2 and likely curable if they'd listened seriously.
Will never not be bitter about that.
