I get anticipatory anxiety too Pagan and as you say it is totally natural... this is a big step my friend but one as you also say will also be hopefully beneficial.... deep breaths and calming thoughts

what time is this happening?

Thanks Ruby. Your rightdeep breaths and calming thoughts. Good advice. Treatment is at 12:30pm.

have they explained exactly what happens so you feel well informed? I don't know if it helps but I feel a tad less anxious if I know what is going to happen... but then again I'm waiting on a procedure where I have been told what is going to happen and I'm nervous as hell so I can relate!!

Hi Pagan,
I wish you the very best for tomorrow. Its a small thing to add but a good friend showed me research just yesterday that reframing anxiety as excitement has been proven to help if you can do that.

Good luck

RubyI'm like you in the way that I've done the research and know what they will do to me but am still very nervous. Moobbus.thanks for the advice, its appreciated.

the only advice I can give is to try and keep it in perspective.. which is probably the hardest thing to do atm... I'm freaking about mine too and tbh the only thing that helps is support from people like yourself... and being told that you can get through tonight and not freak out... and you can also get through the morning and you will be ok.. it is a scary thing for anyone to be going through.. it's the unknown... the actual procedure and the worry that is it actually going to work?

can you think of anything that you think will help you quieten your nerves a little?

Sending you ladies peace and healing thoughts, HUGS, I think it's gonna go well...

*guys* :-)

Sending good thoughts your way pagan! I hope this is a great thing for you. I'm hopeful that it will be.

Sending big hugs your way and hoping the ECT helps you as much as it has me. best of luck an remember to be patient with it.

sending you big hugs and loads of relaxation pagan - hope tomorrow flies by for you and does only good things!

I feel tomorrow will be positive and the beginning of a really good thing. The decsion you've made takes courage. That's a great quality working for you. Health and healing friend xx

I'll be thinking of you as at 12:30 - hoping tomorrow (today) goes smoothly for you and that you do see results soon! I see that you've done all the background research - prepared yourself! Now you just need to breathe deeply and try relaxation. I'd be nervous too! It's something new - but with great potential!

A big huge heartfelt thank you to all of you who have shown your support, words of encouragement and a spirit of healing. You are all such wonderful people. THANKS!

Good Luck Pagan. I'm pulling for you!! HUGS!!
