I feel so sad

You doing well you have so much to deal with at the moment and you will be fine. Don't worry about the injection at the dentist I didn't even feel the last one I had . Try to think of the good things you like in your life. Happy memories of the past it really helps . You're doing fantastic.

I'm sorry to read of your frustration Sunflower.

Unfortunately sometimes such is just the way of things.

I suggest an alternative perspective please:

That monitoring your oxygen and things may hopefully lead to improvements in the quality of your life, essentially prevention is always better than a cure.

Vaccination is vastly better than risking the illnesses we vaccinate against.

Likewise accessing dental care as soon as possible can prevent considerably greater discomfort if nothing is done.

The improvements effective medical care has made to our lifespan and the quality of that life is easy to underestimate, I know.

Unfortunately discomfort in the short term is sometimes an aspect of that, as medicine works the miracles it does.

Good luck, best wishes and I hope you'll soon be on the other side of this phase of treatment, enjoying good health into the future

❤️

You have such much going on your bound to feel overwhelmed

I hope it all turns out alright for you

It’s easy to say but try to think of positive things you’ve achieved already

Thinking of you and I hope it all goes well

Best Wishes

Hi Sunflowervalley

Anxiety is a challenge for most people at various stages of their lives. A surprisingly large number of people struggle with it all their lives.

It's a complicated flaw of brains and bodies that fear can control and direct our thinking, often repeatedly drawing people back to focus on things which scare them. It's a leftover from times when fears were a useful and sensible thing to have (eg the fear of fire or dangerous animals etc). Unfortunately that's basically incompatible with a modern world containing so much available information that almost anything will be frightening if we think about it for too long.

I suggest trying to distract yourself from thinking about those things. I appreciate it's not straightforward and generally requires effort but literally finding other things to think about can be a great help.

What do you enjoy doing, reading, watching (etc)?

Is there anything you're interested to learn?

When did you last write a letter?

Changing your focus is what I'm suggesting.

Please remember, soon enough you'll look back at this and it won't be frightening at all.

Again, good luck
