Hospital anxiety
Is this normal?
I have found myself having major anxiety when having to be in a hospital bed. I haven’t always been like this but I’ve noticed the last few times I’ve had to be in a hospital bed I get major anxiety and almost work into a panic. Especially if it involves them giving me something that makes me drowsy. I get panicky when I get sleepy in a hospital bed, and I don’t want to fall asleep. Yesterday I went to urgent care because I have been sick and couldn’t keep anything down. They gave me fluids and nausea meds, I started to feel sleepy and panicky, and had to try and calm myself down. It also didn’t help the hospital bed was not like the ones I’m used to, it was like the brown beds/tables they have in a clinic room. So I felt unsafe to fall asleep on it so that didn’t help any. I really don’t like this feeling at all. Then me and husband were watching a show today and it was of a girl in a hospital bed and I felt myself getting anxious?! Like wtf?! Why am I like this and how to stop it 😫
