How to cope with anxiety

My surgery is in a week and a half and I have moments of panic. Does anyone have advice for coping with extreme nerves?

Hi member74 and

The emotions you describe are very common. You may find some helpful suggestions in one of the Pre-Op Articles, "Coping With Anxiety and Fear" located here:

I am sending many positive thoughts your way for a successful surgery and uneventful recovery.

Thank you for the kind response and for the reference. I did check it out and those are things I do need to do.
