Waiting game

My recent smear test came back as Cin 3. I have my coloscopy next week. I have anxiety as it is, so getting these results left me in tears and unable to eat for days. I'm only managing an hour or two of sleep each night, and wake up in cold sweats and palpitations. I let my doctor know I'm having issues but they refuse to talk to me about it until after the coloscopy, so I'm already convinced somethings badly wrong but nobody wants to say until its official. I know it's a horrendous time with covid about but feeling a bit shunned. Keeping myself occupied with WHO exams all week & strangely not feeling least bit anxious about the coloscopy. Does anyone have any good tips to help sleep/appetite while waiting this out? Please and thanks! 

  • You could try downloading a sleep app if you have an I phone

    this is how I am managing at this uncertain time

  • Sorry to hear you're going through this  , i 'm sure the results will be ok.

     

    Personally speaking when i was worried sick a couple of months back and my appetite waned, that freaked me out more than the actual issue that started me worrying. I found the less you thought about eating, the more the appetite comes back. I know it sounds strange, but the more you worry about the lack of appetite the worse it'll be.

     

    Good luck
