Wrong sub but everyone has fears. If you continue looking at yourself in that way then your feelings towards yourself won't change. You are keeping yourself stuck in that mindset.

LPT: This is something you should be discussing with your therapist, not with people on the internet.

From someone who has had a bunch of surgeries, a lot of people have a fear of hospitals and surgeries. I spent 7 months in the hospital after an industrial accident and spinal cord injury.

Maybe a therapist can get you over the fears if they are all consuming. It’s pretty critical that you do because we all have to be proactive with our healthcare. You don’t want medical molehills turning into mountains because you didn’t go for routine checkups, screenings or when you are feeling sick.

I tell everyone that if you are undergoing anesthesia for a procedure, make sure you tell the anesthesiologist that you are anxious, or stressed out, nauseous, whatever. His/her job is to make you as comfortable as possible and in pre op. They have the most amazing medications.lol

You're a human animal, your body is participating from your slight future and making decisions you're unaware of from a second+ in your past. It's a dance of information where the only portion that matters is the consciousness that you believe yourself to be... kind of like being your own parent. Self talk has been recommended "I'm not concerned by - - -" "I'm aware of - - -, so - - -" etc
