I have been up for hours, worrying, really need to sort myself out as this anxiety is ruining my life! today I have a CT scan of my chest this afternoon, due to the chest xray I had where they saw something but wasn't sure what it was in the tube going into the lungs, I have waited since December for this . But I also have a doctors appointment due to pain around my nipple and under my arm, it took ages to pluck up courage to make GP appointment and it was just a coincidence the only appointment they had was same day as my scan, so now I'm panicking about both and have to get through a day at work first.... and due to anxiety my IBS is playing up..... just feel like screaming..... Aaghhhhh

Anxiety has to be the worst thing ever, but try not to worry and hopefully all tests will be fine. I have pre op tests tomorrow and my head is all over the place. Can only imagine how bad I'll be next month hen I'm actually having op. ( repair to bowel and pelvic floor from hysterectomy 4.5 years ago). Sending you good wishes that all will be fine.

Wishing you the very best of luck and sending virtual calming hugs for your CT this afternoon, Robotwars!
I use simple 3,3 breathing to try to stay calm (it does help) - breathe in through the nose for the count of 3 slowly, and out through the nose for the count of 3 slowly and repeat for 8 repetitions. It corrects hyperventilation which can make you feel spaced out, dizzy and more anxious.
I'll be thinking of you! xxxxx
