Hello to all
Just updating this group with my morning anxiety…last night was a wake up screaming night…my wife woke me and asked me to turn on my side, that I was screaming no!!, help!!….we had just got back from Ft Belvoir Hospital that afternoon where I had liquid nitrogen sprayed on my flat skin surfaces that needed attention..and they’re watching a lump (small) on my forehead area next to the area where I had a Mohs procedure a few years ago..hopefully it may just be an oil gland, but doctor wants me back in 2 months for another sized picture .. I don’t want another hole in my forehead … there’s no end to this skin cancer…but these things add to one’s overall anxiety and it’s getting rather unnerving…I just finished a couple of weeks ago learning the hard way that a psychiatrist is not a therapist…which is what I need for this morning CAR anxiety…or something…I get some great relief or something it makes me feel better when I commune with my neighbor Larry about his wound change and his wound vac situation which has been going on for months.. I share and tell him it’s going to get better…I believe it will…as for my morning anxiety and worry in general, it’s just something I have to deal with…I wish I had half the courage of my wife or some of the mentors and members on this wonderful forum and discussion group…have a good day and night to all
🙏 pvctom

@pvctom2021 Having a way to vent is a good thing. We each have a chance to develop what will work for us, and modify that as the need arises. Getting out to exercise in fresh morning air, or journaling, or chatting with the neighbor about his struggles, will help deflect the feelings we might be having ourselves, and can help us a lot!
Like you, I have a pretty pronounced "hole" scar in the middle of my forehead from a skin cancer over 20 years ago. At the time I was still working full-time, and told people they removed my third eye LOL! Since then I have only half an eyebrow due to another surgery, and recently had MOHS on my nose. Skin cancer seems to be so frequent for me. I have a cool looking jagged lightning scar near my throat and collarbone from MOHS surgery 4 years ago.
You have more courage than you give yourself credit for. You have shared with us your struggles, and that indeed takes a lot of bravery. I have no doubt you have helped others in their journey!
