Hello Everybody,
How does everyone else deal with anxiety in the lead up to blood tests and Haematologists appointments? I'm seeing my Haemo this afternoon for my scheduled 3 monthly check up and blood results - as per the pattern, in the month leading up to my blood test and appointment my mind is occupied with not-so-useful thoughts and I've become an emotional wreck... I tie myself up in knots! I know I'm fine, I know the results will come back exceptionally wonderful - they always do, but no amount of chocolate croissants or positive thinking can stop the feelings of dread from taking hold.
Luckily, I work 10 hours a day in a job where I have to focus completely on work or risk losing zillions of dollars for my boss - it's nearly 10 hours a day where the anxiety can't find me... however, the rest of the time I'm a complete mess!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this - how does everyone else deal with anxiety?
Have a fabulous day/night, Lynette
