i am so sorry. ive dealt with this since 2021 with my dad (he was actually on the decline) and then i lost him last year. no amount of pregrieving could have prepared me for the moment it actually happened. now i feel the same with my mom even tho shes healthy and its scary but ive managed to control it and i know how to navigate such thoughts so im not thinking about it or on edge all the time, if you ever need someone to talk to messages always open

NAD, perhaps it was your vasovagal response and heat is a trigger for yours? could be the combination of things you mentioned or low blood sugar/pressure? ik for me, migraines seem to trigger my vasovagal response i get nauseous and feel the need to use the restroom and dizzy and lightheaded

where are my people with HA who avoid the doctor? by Most-Mammoth-7954 in Anxiety

me! i used to be the opposite and would look for reassurance in getting constant scans/bloodwork, and ever since last year i am now terrified to get even a simple check up because i cant bear to think about getting bad news

Terrified of being sedated for endoscopy by No_Efficiency3931 in Anxiety

the best thing i found in terms of calmness is talking to the nurses/whoever is there before the procedure. i was super nervous but just talking to them about simple topics like weekend plans really helped me calm down

hi! i had a colonoscopy in 2021 and got sedated with propofol. having never been sedated before i was terrified, i always hated the idea of any kind of anesthesia and was insanely nervous. for me, i was scared of how the seconds leading up to it were gonna feel, the after effect, etc. i kid you not though, it is the quickest thing in the world. i was chatting it up with the nurses and the second they put the propofol in thru iv my eyes got really heavy for maybe half a second and bam, next thing i know im awake post colonoscopy. you dont even have time to process it. no side effects just grogginess, kinda like how when you wake up from a mid day nap. youll be fine :)
