last day :(

[vernon]

Well yesterday after waking so scared taking a Vallium (2mg) it calmed me a bit as I haven’t taken any for so long but was left feeling tired weak and sick all day. Then this morning I woke 100 times more scared than yesterday, If I was to go today god knows how I would have got there I was even to dizzy to walk. So I took half an atavan this time, it calmed me a bit but like yesterday felt really sick again. At 4pm I couldn’t take anymore feeling sick and weak and tired so went lay on my bed and done relaxation tapes for an hour, but still felt sick. I really hope I will get there tomorrow as if I don’t I will never forgive myself. MEG is the feeling sick and week the tranx or the anxiety? Thanks all. Vernon

It shouldn't be the valium/ ativan Vern . Did they affect you before like this ? I think you are right to just take half it if has an effect.

You are having a massive bout of anticipatory anxiety and feeling complete rubbish is part of that.. it will be better once you're able to take action like getting there . At hospital you can tell them and you can be prescribed something to help you manage the time you're there.

What time do you need to go in so I can be thinking of you ?

thanks meg, 8am but have to phone at 7in case any emergencys have come in during the night. I feel a bit now like when i first stopped drinking alcohol and my anxiety and panic came back big time. at that stage i stayed in bed for days and always felt sick and weak. ut when i woke scared yesterday and today. I was realy shaking and weak but didnt realy get to feel sick until a couple of hours after the Vallium/ Atavan. I always did feel doped and out of sorts on tranx. dont know the worst feeling being tired weak and sick of put up with the fears and shaking, but I know this intence fear has to be the surgery but i cant pinpoint why I am afraid. thanks Vernon

Vernon,

Will be thinking of you tomorrow and sedning you as many positive thoughts I can send!

I agree that it is Anticapatory Anxiety which is causing you to feel ill.

After tomorrow is over you will be able to move on from it...It will only be worse if you put it off again.

Wishing you loads of luck and love.

Positive thoughts Vern.

Anticipatory anxiety is the worst. You may even find it subsides quite a lot by the time you get there though.

Just keep yourself positive and try to look forward to it rather than fearing it. Sure, there'll always be the fear, but changing the way you approach it helps a lot. Look for all the benefits. Once you're in and being seen to, then you should be ok, and the sedation will definately do the trick.

After that, all over and done with, no more worries. Look forward to it Vern.
