Aaaand right back to stressed out as all hell after the discovery of a Suspicious Freckle I Really Don't Remember Being There and subsequent fight with Mum over whether the proper initial response to such a discovery is, A) "it's probably nothing but let's make sure ASAP", or, B) "it's nothing and therefore no action (that will cost money) is warranted in the immediate term". And granted, as to money, there still isn't any, but I still don't think that an appeal to poverty is the best way to talk someone down from OMG WAS THAT THERE BEFORE. I think I've got her talked round on the "dude, that is one part of me that occasionally sees sunlight" and "we'll sort something out RE getting that looked at" points, but we're still pretty far apart so far as her placing much value on my overall state of mind feels to me. Am I being unreasonable to say that part of what helps me cope with a situation like this is some evidence that my concerns are being taken seriously?
