Manyloves 19 Posted October 7, 2020 maybe do some writing? I don't think anything makes it go away but you can start getting excited and writing out how you are going to Celebrate milestones. 1 1 mrsC1971 and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everytime something big I happenings to/for me I can't sleep the night before (so I longer try) and I stay up as have a mini party/music/movie marathon. I indulge in the things I love and it takes some of the stress away. Perhaps try to do things that make you happy and calm. Congratulations in advance, have a safe and happy surgery 💓 Edited October 7, 2020 by GreenTealael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsC1971 8 Posted October 7, 2020 Thank you ladies. Not sure if I’m replying in the right place. Still trying to figure this thing out. I appreciate your words. I’m excited but I guess my anxiousness gets the best of me. But my son and hubby keep me busy and make me feel happy and are 100% supportive. But it’s late right now and I’m wide awake.

Thank you 😊 I will do that because I am excited but sometimes my anxiety gets the best of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Greater Fool 2,054 Posted October 7, 2020 Welcome to the forums. Anxiety & excitement are effectively different names for a similar set of feelings. Or so I tell myself Anxiety & excitement are rational emotions when facing a surgery, any surgery. Even more so when the surgery is possibly life changing, as this surgery is. Nothing you do, aside from backing out, will change the fact that you are having surgery. You've already thought it through, so trust yourself. Look beyond the surgery to where your emotional energy may have a positive effect. Good luck, Tek 1 mrsC1971 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
