Anxiety (Including GAD)

You can do this! I was anxious the first time I went too. Take some deep breaths. Try to focus on things you can sense. For instance, sometimes naming all the colors I can see around me helps ground me. You can also list noises you hear.

You're showing yourself how independent and decisive you are! You are your best advocate!! We got you ❤️❤️
it definitely gets easier after the first time alone! i’ll be honest, i always have a lil bit of anxiety going to doctors because i’m always worried about a new diagnosis- but the reality is they’re here to help me, and keep me as safe as they can- and the same goes for you! trying to keep that in mind may help too, along with what IndigoChi said. i also often wear my favorite comfort clothes when i go, so that i can have soft textures to feel to keep me grounded.
@IndigoChi thank you so much!
