Hi is there anyone awake who can help me calm down, I am shaking so bad I am finding it really difficult to type:scared15:
My sleep as not been good for a while and that makes my anxiety a lot worse, but today something happened to me that I think is causing me to feel like this
I had to go for a mri scan of my whole spine and it didn't help that the radiographer doing the scan did not seem to have any compassion at all even though it was pretty obvious I was scared as soon as I saw the mri scanner and how small the space was that I was to go into fir the scan....the first attempt at going into the scanner I panicked and had to come out then I decided I had to try and give it go so on the second attempt I managed to stay in for 25 minutes but again panicked and pressed the buzzer to get out, the radiographer said I needed to wait 40 seconds before he could get me out the scanner and this 40 seconds felt like forever and made me panic even more once I was out he tried to persuade me to go back in for another 15 minutes then it would be over with but I just could not do it....again there was no compassion shown and I was just told that I could go and get changed my whole body was shaking and I felt so weak and scared that I broke down as soon as I got into the changing room and it took me 20 minutes before I could compose myself to come out....as anyone else had one of these scans and felt like this:scared15:it was terrifying and I felt so claustrophobic....there is no way I could ever have a mri ever again.
