IMO, if your anxiety and depression become debilitating, please seek professional help. If not, then I can assure you that you're pretty normal. We all went through it at some level. Very similar to the grieving process, you have to just muddle through until you get to the acceptance part. If you click on my name, you can see my profile. Scared the hell out of me when I was first diagnosed and got worse over the next month or so. I found that studying, I mean truly studying, the disease to be very helpful. Now it's just part of life. Hang in there. You got this.

@mjp0512 Thanks for your input. I guess I haven't reached full acceptance yet. Not sure. I feel like I am in a bad dream and will wake up soon. Thanks for acronyms and I did read your profile posts / history, and learned some new things I didn't know about. So many things to know. And I don't know yet what I don't know - if that makes sense. So, I continue to study and hope for some level of acceptance and reduced anxiety soon. I have cardiac issues also, so I may or may not have the option for surgery path. Thank You, Dan
