Dealing with anxiety. Possibly triggering.
I normally can deal with my anxiety quite well. I do not like strangers, or pretty much anyone other than my SO touching me.
Tomorrow I have to get an X-Ray, Pap test, breast exam and blood test. I have no issue with the X-Ray or Blood test. The other two however cause me great anxiety.
Ladies with a similar issue, how do you deal with your anxiety without medication?
I know that these tests are needed for my health, that's not the issue. It's the touching. Especially since it's my vagina and breasts. I grew up being sexually abused, as well as being raped multiple times when in highschool. Which obviously contribute majorly to my anxiety. I see a psychologist and deal with my issues very well usually. But this time I keep having panic attacks at the thought of the tests, and GI distress due to stress.
