Former anti-vax Mom here. For someone who has horrible anxiety, is it normal to absolutely fear the vaccination appointment? My baby goes today for ‘catch up’ He’s 8 months old and due for his four months shots + the rest.

If anyone has any *kind* words, please leave them here. Not looking for any judgement or criticism, because I figured out that I was being silly by denying him his vaccinations. If anyone has any helpful words to help me feel like I’m doing the right thing by taking him to get caught up, please help. My anxiety is something awful. I guess all of the horrid things I’ve read that can potentially happen is just sticking with me and it’s causing a lot of fear, anxiety and overall panic.
