Your post does not sound abrupt at all and I appreciate your advice. My first therapy session is tomorrow and I look forward to getting started. Your advice to out time limit on when I allow myself to worry is helpful. And don’t worry about what has not happened.

@fudge08 I will be anxious to hear about how your first session goes today! As you may realize, it may take time to "feel" a difference.

You have been going through a lot with renovating a house, then overdoing it physically. In my mind, feeling anxious is a given as you wait for test results! That's human nature. Please be gentle on yourself. As you commented, it is way too easy to "go down a rabbit hole" looking up symptoms and attributing certain conditions to yourself. Let the experts on your medical team do that for you, helping you get to conclusions!

For today, deep breaths. You got this!
