I know it wasn't your intention but that statement was insensitive and inconsiderate
Some truth....Having had two heart attacks, triple bypass, stents and Stage IV Head and Neck cancer, I can assure you that neither is pleasant. When I had my first heart attack, I went out in the ER. Yes, I was in pain
but it was quick. All I remember is feeling a rush of sorts coming from my lower abdomen and I thought
"That's weird". It started to rise up my torso and I thought
"This can't be good". That's the last thing I remember. My heart went into afib and I was gone. They used the paddles to bring me back. The next thing I remember was waking up and the nurse saying
"Look who's back!" I had cancer and I've watched friends and family pass from it. No, if I have a choice (which I/we don't), I don't want to know what hit me thank you!
At 19, you have no chance of either thing happening. I have and have had real physical issues that can put me in the ground. Sadly, the illness you do have does that above ground.
Treat your anxiety. You're much too young to be held captive by the dragon.
