Prayed for ya this morning!
And the advice that I have is this:
1: Read through the Psalms. David struggled with fear of death and there are a TON of psalms that describe his feelings. Ya, there are like 151 of them, but they're all great..!
2: I think you made a good choice to see your doctor about this. Try and take everything your doc says at face value, meaning don't put your own fears attached to them. Example: When the doc tells me heart palpitations are not life threatening, I try and tell myself that every time I get one... Even though my anxiety is telling me I am going to die, and my body goes into hyper alert mode. I wait it out. The doc's been the one who has been right so far, so try and trust them. They're trained and super smart!
3: Last advice is this. Try for today to believe that it is all anxiety. Do your normal routine in life, and try and keep a positive outlook, as much as possible anyway.
Let us know how the doc visit goes!
