Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and I am terrified

The same thing happened to me--right before my family trip to Italy to meet extended family for the first time. I felt paralyzed.
Pls watch this short video explaining the NOCEBO effect (feeds fear & hinders progress). Drs need to be more careful in how they word a prognosis:

@singingbones thank you for the video! I find Dr. Lisa Moore's videos and Facebook page very helpful and encouraging.
My doctor didn't even give me my diagnosis. I got a phone call from a nurse or a technician or something; I don't even know. She announced, "You have SEVERE osteoporosis in your spine and you need to contact your doctor" and that was it. It was a Friday afternoon so I couldn't talk to my doctor until the following week. It was terrifying. Handled very poorly.
