Hi - long story short I scheduled an eye exam (general check up) and canceled because my anxiety and panic is so high and I don’t want to cause a scene at the exam.

I had a terrible experience with eye dilation and a panic attack that caused me to pass out about 15 years ago and haven’t been back since. I also just recently got my covid shot and passed out - so I’m still dealing with that. 

Any advice or encouragement? I’m so sick of feeling this way, every day I fight this and I’m getting discouraged.
