I wish I was never born
Hi I'm Jude Serrao aged 18 . To be honest I've wasted my life especially my childhood as I was heavily addicted to video games and was forced to go for tutions full day . Because of this I didn't develop social skills and a personality and never really enjoyed life . Plus it might seem a little late for me to change but it's still possible but the thing that is holding me back is I fear I have oral cancer. I started smoking cigarettes from June 2023 to May 2023 . I smoked 4 cigarettes a day daily for 10 months straight and I took a break in between 2 months. However I have quit smoking but I'm very afraid now as I have unhealed ulcers in my mouth , tongue, swollen lymph nodes , and a discoloured lip . I have however visited an ENT doctor and a hospital and they said the neck region is cancer free but my mouth needs further investigation. I don't even feel like living anymore if I have oral cancer as I'm just so young . should I kill myself or should I live ? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hello!
Having such thoughts about self and life and despite that trying each day to live must be extremely tough. I can only try to understand the emotional pain you must have been going through all this time.
I see there has also been the habit of smoking earlier and fear related to the same at present. But how about we take one thing at a time. I am glad you have at least used this space to get connected and share with us. so maybe the next step can be to consult and therapist.
Will that be doable? let's see if you and your therapist can work this through.
i hope this helps :)

Hi.. you will need further evaluation of your oral ulcers by an ENT surgeon. Please take the support of your family members. Confide all your concerns with someone close to you in your family. You still don't know if you're diagnosed with cancer. It could be a normal ulcer also. I advise you to take a psychiatric consultation for further clarifications. Sometimes health anxiety can be crippling. You will need medications and counseling for the same.

Hi ! Go for further investigations for oral ulcers as suggested by the ENT specialist. Confirm the diagnosis first and don't think the worst. There is always a way out. Also , consult a Psychiatrist or a Clinical Psychologist for the associated anxiety you are having. Don't worry, you will be alright.
