How do I keep myself calm waiting on results?

I asked for a referral to a psychiatrist because the anxiety is real.
She gave ne a script for Ativan. VERY helpful. I use it before appointments so I can listen and ask questions effectively, and any time I think I might lose it.
I'm waiting for my Oncotype DX result right now. I know the oncologist has it, but he hasn't shared the results, or the report with me yet. I have an appointment with him in 5 days. I don't want to wait that long. I just took an Ativan.
Overall, I've used 10 .5mg pills in about 10 weeks.

BTW, I finally pointed out in a MyChart message that the oncologist was required by the Cures Act to provide me with the report upon receipt. I got in within an hour. The report date was more than a week earlier. My score was extremely low (yay!). I can't fathom how the oncologist thought nothing of keeping me in suspense about whether or not I would need chemo for 2 weeks. Sadist? Cruel? I don't know. I do know I will be getting a new oncologist.
