Today is surgery day 🥹

[[Ma...]]

Presuming I don’t have a stroke 1st 🤦‍♀️

My entire system is shutting down even though I am trying to psyche myself out, my positive self talk is redundant and not.working.

Any word of encouragement would be appreciated!

You can do this!!!!!!!  What time is your surgery?  Do you ever do grounding work where you visually focus on one thing in the room?  I have found it to be helpful when my anxiety is off the charts!

You can do this @[Ma...]! 

I had, sadly, many surgeries at various times, while on benzos, while tapering, during recovery and when healed. They all went fine and I had no issues related to benzo withdrawal. No surgery is a walk in the park, but trust in your inner strength. 

Try some deep belly breathing. I also used visualization, picturing myself on my favorite beach in Hawaii, seeing the blue of the ocean meet the blue of the sky.

We are rooting for you, and sending healing vibes your way.

Yes, bellie breathing-when I can catch my breath…

Thank you-beach…will focus on 1 thing in the room…

That’s all extremely helpful 🙏!!!!
