I booked a plastic surgery 3 weeks ago and for the last week I've been dealing with acute physical stress as a result. I had a lot of fears around anaesthesia and I have a history of ptsd from bad acid trip that is the root of my anxiety, so being put to sleep and out of control is a big trigger for me. I've had many panic attacks and severe anxiety that comes and goes, but never a prolonged stress response like this time. The last 6 days the stress I had in lead up to the surgery was constant, racing heart from morning till night, unable to eat or sleep, dry mouth and weird static vision. Detachment to everyone around me, inability to think about anything else no matter what. In the end I couldnt take it and cancelled the surgery two days ago, but the physical stress remains in my body. I was doing so well with my anxiety before I ever chose to get a nose job, I really regret putting myself through this but thank god I didn't leave it later to cancel. I just hate that the stress still hasn't left me and its scaring me I've done permanent damage or something. Especially the static vision, when will this go? Anyone else had vision stuff triggered by anxiety that went away? I really need some reassurance, thanks x
