Im getting really sick of getting anxiety no matter what i do or where i go. Yesterday i had an endoscopy done and was anxious and worried the whole time, and there was really no one there to calm me down. they just kept asking if i was ok and i said once this is over i will be. I felt like they thought it was funny or that i was crazy. that made it even worse. After i got home from the test, my stomach hurt and my whole upper body aches and hurts, so the anxiety has been in fool affect

If i cant handle that, i dont know if i could handle having surgery in the future or the other tests. The light at the end of the tunnel seems so far away.

Hi Hurtandscared,

It sounds like you need these procedures. Try to take it one day at a time and take things as they come. I know that is easier said than done, but with practice and breathing exercises it can be controlled. Do you take anything for anxiety? If so, maybe your doc could readjust your medication until after this is over. Just thinking, you know. That has worked for me before when I was going through a difficult time. Then after everything is said and done, go back to your regular dose.

You will make it though this. You have everybody here cheering you on so to speak. I understand what it is like to have surgeries and tests coming up. It is scarey. But know that everything will be okay and before you know it, it will be overwith.

Take care hon.

Hugs, Karen
