Cancer & OCD
So over the past 4 months I have had three spots of skin cancer removed. All were non- melanoma and all were caught early. I am in my mid 40s so not super young, but certainly not very of either, granted age is simply a number and mindset. But I also suffer from OCD and this situation has pulled me so far into deep dispair that I am feeling like I am
struggling to find hope and contentment.
It doesn’t help that I am also a highly negative person and have generally looked at things in a darker manner than I would truly like to.
I am seeing a couple of counselors about all this but it still sometimes feels like 1 step forward 2 steps back.
I know I am not facing terminal issues currently but my mindset seems to have gone down that rabbit hole.
I could use some words of hope or wisdom for handling this and any suggestions for care are welcome too.
