    Default Facing a health problem and it's messing with work

    I've been having some health concerns for awhile and went to see my doctor. After she checked me out, she referred me to a General Surgeon. Well, today I got the call for my appt on March 5th and I looked the guy up online. He has really good credentials. Head of quite a few departments and Chief of Surgery. That is always good.
    But when I saw that his specialty is colorectal cancer, it's thrown me in to quite the anxiety attack and I'm in no shape to cam.

    I knew that's what I was being checked for but I guess it's just becoming more real to me now.

    I guess I'm looking for advice on how to get my head in the right place for work. At my other jobs, I could have just worked alone or avoided people if I was upset but on cam, you just can't hide your mood (and I'm not going to be one of those that starts to cry while streaming)
    If I can't get myself calmed down and focused, then I'll lose money and really screw myself when I suddenly can't afford food or rent.

    There's always the chance that my problem can be taken care of with surgery and it won't cause a huge inconvenience in my life but of course, right now, I'm running all the worse case scenario's through my head. Doesn't help that I have anxiety problems to begin with.

    Any tips are appreciated

    First thing I did after reading this was Google 'anxiety over possible cancer' & these are sm of what came up.




    I hope they are not too cheesy, & also am hoping for a negative diagnosis/positive prognosis for you, but I noticed a long time ago that reading abt what is upsetting me often goes a long way toward relieving that upset.

    Have you thought about seeing a therapist? They might be able to help you come up with some ways to deal with the anxiety. Your appointment it coming up soon so maybe if you can hold off till then you're doctor might have some ideas, but I find doctors usually aren't so good with that stuff!

    For now I would try cutting back on the caming, I have never camed before but I imagine it's like stripping where no one wants to be with the sad-looking girl (although I was once crying about my ex bf in the bathroom and upon coming out was asked immediately to dance, so you never know). Maybe there is some kind of work you can do in the meantime? When I am upset at work I actually tend to do better than when I'm happy. It sounds weird but my work just becomes a way to distract myself and I become this really intense, crazy hustler cause I don't even want to take a cigarette break since that would mean having to think about what's upsetting me. I just totally lose myself in my fantasy image. I don't know if when you cam you act like yourself or you really put up up an act, but you could try playing more of a type, that might help?

    I know so many people that have been screened from cancer and been fine, I wouldn't freak about it yet. And I am of course hoping for the best for you. <3

    Thanks Audrey, you had some really good suggestions. I was in therapy before for anxiety and it did help, I guess what's going on now is triggering it. If the surgery comes back as something bad, then I'll definitely be back in therapy Lol
    Maybe losing myself in work like you do could help. Just keep my mind busy with other things and make money at the same time.
