I appreciate anyone who takes the time to click on this and don't want to waste your time so I'll get right into it. 

Life has been hard lately. I went in for a doctor's checkup last week and while everything was fine for the most part, my doctor thought it would be best to biopsy a mole on my shoulder that looked a bit suspicious to her. Normally I wouldn't think twice about it, I have had a mole biopsied before (melanoma runs in both sides of my family) so I much prefer to be safe than sorry. However, I was not at my appointment expecting this to happen. I am regular with my check ups and haven't had any red flags come up in years. Now I am worried. 

I am supposed to hear back from the doctor sometime this week and I am concerned that I have bad news coming. This, combined with an already existing inhuman amount of anxiety that I experience daily due to my job along with financial stresses as I recently purchased a home has really pushed me over the edge into full depression. I don't know if I will be able to focus on anything until I hear back..

I just need a little advice on how to cope with possibly bad medical news, and I always appreciate any coping mechanisms for panic and anxiety as well.
