What’s the problem?

I was going for a procedure in hospital that I had a local anaesthetic for. I don’t like needles but I wasn’t going to see it. I did fear injection as a kid but I had grown up and had blood tests etc and so had gotten used to this. I was feeling fine with a very slight and obvious fear of the unknown and not looking forward to what was going to happen. I was composed and not feeling anioxious. I had no worries about the results of the test, being in a position that I was just getting checked. I had no worrie about getting bad news.

So the doctor came to check me before the procedure and I had a rash on my chest. I had a split second panic when this was pointed out. I wondered myself what was going on? The doctor said it was me feeling nervous and was ok. I thought it was weird because I felt fine.

I think back to that now and wonder. My body sometimes tells a different story to how I’m really feeling. If I feel ok and think ok, so what’s going on?

I feel I get more anxious at times than I did then but then I really don’t know what I thinking to make me feel anxious. So this is the complete opposite. I will keep thinking about what my problem is now.

It's fairly normal to feel anxious about such a procedure and especially with your background. Yes sometimes our body shows up our feelings better than we can describe them! A rash on the chest is a sure sign of anxiety but don't get it out of proportion. It is normal to feel anxiety and anxiety never killed anyone..... although it is very unpleasant at times to say the least x
