Two months of pain in my lower abdomen turned into the discovery of a blood clot in my urinary vein during an ultrasound. I’ve never had any medical issue like this in my life, thank goodness. But I feel like my anxiety about everything has just gone through the roof. Maybe it’s my own fault for googling every symptom or pretty much anything that has to do with clotting that has just made me terrified. As well as googling everything about Lovenox which isn’t great either.

Any twinge or pain in my body I just fear is the clot moving closer and closer just waiting to strike. I mean it’s been two months before and it hasn’t moved so logically I probably don’t need to be that worried. But I guess just the medical anxiety and now having to do Lovenox injections twice a day has really thrown me for a loop. How do you manage the fear and anxiety? I have a therapy appointment soon but it just doesn’t feel soon enough.
