Scared for surgery

[flea101]

I have severe mental health issues, and am due to have quite invasive surgery on Thursday. I am not sleeping and am really anxious about the surgery. Is there anything I can do to alleviate the worry? I am trying to keep positive but I am so nervous.

Tell your emotion (fear) that the operation is going to happen - no matter what -and that it's going to be good for you in the long run, so it would be better for it to switch from fear into courage and support instead. Your subconscious wants you to be happy and safe so ask it to help you.
