Hello, I’m not the person you replied to, and I hope its not against the rules, but: I’ve had a terrible couple of years with debilitating anxiety and fear of physical illnesses after a panic attack one year into covid (diagnosed OCD, and talking to a therapist, and orders of magnitude better now w/o medication thankfully). One of the triggers that I still have is this (fear of anesthesia wearing of, and feeling painful procedures) so thank you for the post. (Sorry for the elongated ty note xD)

No worries, been exactly there on a real emotional level. Wishing you personally the best of luck too, and proud of you for meeting the anxiety-head on with therapy. :)
