Don’t think I can do it
I was supposed to get my second COVID vaccine this weekend that I had been putting off for a while due to horrible anxiety. I ended up getting the stomach flu so I have to postpone it again… In the meantime I have been spiraling about getting the shot. My thoughts are constantly “you are going to die. You are going to get heart inflammation. It’s documented that people have died from it and you will be one of them” it literally feels like getting it will be the end of my life. I have spent the past few days crying all day long about how it will be the end for me. I feel like I can’t handle getting it and knowing that I could be about to get a potentially deadly side effect. Does anyone have any advice? I’ve ceased all compulsions like googling, etc but even setting a new appointment sends me into doomsday panic. I’m leaving on my honeymoon in a month and I don’t know what to do. Thank you for any help you can give.
