It's getting closer and closer to my surgery date and my anxiety is skyrocketing. I suppose a good portion of it is a healthy nervousness, but another portion of it is just running through "I'm gonna die on the operating table" (I'm a DNR, so if I code, that's it) and all these other horrid scenarios. It's driving me insane. I've tried meditation, taking a deep breath and even talking to the psychologist at work (she's one of my good friends and I trust her)
I know that some of this is normal, but all of this? Probably not.
Any advice? I've already given myself a firm talking to which included me internally yelling at myself to pull up my big girl britches, stfu and keep going.
