I wasn't stressed about wearing a mask before I tried one - I didn't expect to have any problems at all, so it was quite a shock when I tried the first one and felt ill. I assumed it was the mask (it was a homemade one that I had been given, and I know a few other people struggled with them) and that I'd be ok with a shop-bought one...but I wasn't.
I am quite stressed now when I put one on, because I know it's going to make me feel ill - but the symptoms have caused the stress, not the other way round! That's what worries me - if I'd been anxious beforehand, I'd just put it down to stress, but I wasn't.
Unfortunately, I can't get a doctor's appointment without wearing a mask, so until I can wear a mask without difficulty, I can't see the doctor...by which point, I won't need the appointment anyway
