Tests. :x

[of the lore]

I have to get an EKG and some blood work done tomorrow. They have to make sure my hearts not going to explode or something because of the Geodon I'm taking.

I'm really, really, really scared. I kind of feel like I'm going to throw up, right now. I don't know why I'm making such a big deal out of it, though.

My mom got mad at me when I told her I didn't want to go, and started yelling at me. <.< I hate being yelled at.

How do you go through with stuff that you're scared about without having an anxiety attack?

I know I'm really overreacting, but I'm scared about the test and blood work, and mad at my mother for yelling at me for being scared. She keeps telling me to stop being so dramatic. I don't mean to be. But I don't want them taking my blood and testing my heart. Dunno. Sorry.

Hi there,

It was wrong for your mother to yell at you because she has only made things worse. I find that if you feel forced into doing something or that I have no choice in the matter like this situation, I feel more panicked. I found that if I change the way I think of something, it becomes easier to handle. For example instead of thinking 'I have to go and get these tests done but I don't want to' try telling yourself that 'I WANT to get these test done because I want to know that I am healthy even if it is slightly unpleasant.' I know it is hard but that's just the way I deal with similar situations. I hope the tests go well for you. Sorry if I wasn't much help. Take care.

do you think the reason you're scared of having the tests done is because you're scared of getting bad results, like there's something wrong with you or something? because if it is, theres no need to worry about it, i'm sure there won't be anything wrong, but even if there is, its better that the doctor's know about it right, then they can help fix it?
im sorry your mum got angry at you..she should understand that its normal to get nervous about things like this..
please try not to stress about them too much, if its actually having the tests done that you're worried about, i've had an EKG before..and they're really not that bad..they don't take that long and it doesnt hurt at all.
i hope everything goes okay =)

Thank you both. :] With your help, I managed to stay fairly calm.
I just hope they don't call me and tell me I'm dying, now.
It wasn't so bad though. A guy doctor walked in the EKG room while I didn't have a shirt on, though. <.< It was weird.
I'm glad I did it though. I feel brave. x]
