    Default 8 Hours and Terrified

    So, I have to be at the hospital in less than 8 hours for mt sleeve and I am absolutely freaking out. Last week at my pre-op I seemed to be the only one actually scared, most everyone seemed jovial about it. Truthfully, I was a bit embarrassed. I'm not afraid of anything happening to me per se and am convinced its just first-ever-hospital stay jitters, but I am almost hyper ventilating. Is this normal?

    Breathe slowly and exhale fully.

    It's *just* anxiety.

    (Easy for me to say, eh?)

    You've got this! Don't let your mind freak you out. Just give yourself a good pep talk - I can do this. This is going to be great and SO worth it. Speak positive things in your mind and it should help calm you down. You can do it!

    Try not to think about it. Watch TV or read to get your mind off of it.
