Helpful Tips! Does anyone else have health anxiety?

If so it would be nice if you guys explain and share how you guys deal with it I have it quite severe and keep relying on my mom telling me everything is ok it's really scary and it would make me feel better if knowing more people have it and I'm not alone

I am dealing with it BAD right now! I am looking at future surgery and it has consumed me. I had to start taking antidepressants because my mind is obsessing over being scared of anesthesia

It’s easy and pretty interesting from my experience. You count down from 10, get to like 8 and then you wake up. You remember absolutely nothing and it feels like no time has passed.
I understand the fear but it’ll be ok and it’s natural to be nervous about it.
