What can I do for my anxiety later?

Question

I have to go to the ER with my mom later tonight because something is wrong with her shoulder and she has a stiff neck or something and I have REALLY bad anxiety, like in a regular hospital room I get dizzy and then can't breathe and stuff and I think my mom just needs X-Rays done but I don't know how I will control my anxiety. Between worrying about my mom and being in a small room, I think I might have a hard time! But any advice to help? I don't really want to take medicine either so yeah. Thanks.

Answer 1

Just take deep breaths, and focus on being there for your mum.

On the way in mentally note where the toilets are, incase you need to go out and have a breather.

Hopefully the X-ray won't take too long, so you'll be fine.

Don't worry! You'll get through it and be totally fine, and at the end you'll be proud of yourself.
