I have another surgery coming up and I'm scared shitless. I've had quite a few since the attack but this is a big one, c5 c6 fused .My anxiety is over the moon and my depression is getting bad too.i have my therapy Thursday , really hoping it helps.
 
I had that surgery and felt better after if that helps. I recommend to really work on breathing and grounding. My PTSD was triggered before the surgery with death and the excruciating pain along with breathing difficulties from needing the surgery. It is normal to feel anxious before a surgery and that surgery in particular. If you have a great surgeon it should be a relief after. Hope it goes great. Thinking of you!
 
And people wonder why I'm slowly going insane, My workman's comp company has now decided I need to get a second opinion 6 days before the surgery after I got the preoperative stuff done and 20 months after I was hurt.
