Surgery Anxiety

[sk2801]

Hi everyone

I have an appt to see a specialist early Feb 19 and surgery should follow at the end of March 19.

The procedure I will be having is quite minor but the thought of surgery is consuming me every day. I have had surgery back in 2013 and freaked out right up to the day of it. It was actually a really pleasant experience so I dont know why I'm freaking again???

I understand that it is normal to feel a little anxious prior but this is ridiculous. I just wish I could accept it and park it till later but easier said than done.

Does anybody have any advise or tools I could embrace to get me through this?

Thanks

Sorry, computer ate remaining bit of my post.

will my family know what to do, say and how to support me?

one thing I'd suggest is if you go to online forums about the surgery you've had, expect more negative than positive stories. Coz people with positive results are out doing stuff and living. Whereas PeOple at early stages, or who are doing it rough, have time on their Hands.Dont get me wrong, forums about post surgery can be fantastic but keep perspective in mind. ☺️
