Leep procedure

[Stephanie89]

I’m so nervous I’m having this done due to having pre cervical cancer cells and I don’t want to go to the appointment I freak out in my appointments and have panic attacks I really am nervous and I really don’t want to do it but have to my anxiety gets really horrible in drs office I get dizzy weak feeling like fainting but I know this is something I have to do the first time around was in 2017 before my anxiety started and I even went my myself to the appointment and went home like nothing but this time with anxiety is much more different I’m scared something terrible will go wrong or they are going to give me to much shots. Or I will pass out trying to keep myself calm before Tuesday at least I will have my aunt there with me

Hi Stephanie89. I'm sorry you're going through such a tough time.

I get nervous at the Dr. office too. Deep breathing might help - I make a point to breathe deeply when I start getting nervous. There are some good guided meditations on YouTube. Search "meditations anxiety"

Affirmations also help me at times - you can find them on YouTube also. Search "affirmations for anxiety"

Thank you I have many health issues in top of anxiety and I never dealt with after anxiety came and it freaks me out but thank you I will definitely try deep breathing and positive thinking too 😭

Can you exercise during the day? Studies have shown it helps. I find that it makes me breathe deeply, which helps. The exercise also gets good brain/body chemicals going. A good brisk walk is enough to get things going.

Getting out in nature has also been shown to elevate mood. Even a park with trees and plants can help.

Yes I can in my apartment but I get terrified to cuz once I feel my heartbeat rising I always think I’m going to have a heart attack and causing me to panic😭

But I do walk once a week outside and I’m trying to little by little I just feel better when I’m

Not alone

When you're exercising, if you can breathe in thru your nose and out through your mouth. And breathe in really deep. Focus on your breathing while walking/exercising - at least for the first 5 minutes or so. It really helps me because anxiety causes shallow breathing. So whenever you think about it stop and take some deep breaths.

Hey girl, I just had the procedure a month ago. I also, had precancer. I had anxiety for so long because of the thoughts about it.

Wanna know what I realized. So in some countries people cannot aford the Pap tests or procedure. We are lucky. We are alive. And we caught the precancer. My name is stephini,also.

Since I started exercising regularly and doing slope deep breaths everyday before my anxiety starts in the day I been better.

It turns out I’m alive after all that anxiety and panic attacks lol.

Hope you have someone to go with.
