Be careful y’all. Severe anxiety can be just as bad as cancer. Don’t let the fear get the best of you. Try to think rationally. To- any other hypochondriacs like myself out there.

For me it’s been an, oh well kind of thing. What happens will happen. The only thing I can do is to try to improve my own personal well being so chances of these things happening to me is lessened. Embrace pain, be okay with dying. Because when the day comes that it doesn’t happen. You’ll feel so relieved. And so silly. Much love you guys. You’ll make it through.

@@donnakarenedwards2199 so basically the top of my mouth is swollen on both sides and one is usually more swollen then the other and it seems to be associated to my sinuses so if the right side is more swollen then my right side of my nose will be blocked. I went to the doctor and they gave me this nose spray, he said if that didn’t work then we’d schedule an MRI. It seems to have helped but it’s still a problem just not as bad. Do you really think it’s cancerous? This all started from when I used to vape in college. I haven’t hit a vape in over 6 months now because I noticed when I do it gets worse…
