New, worried and looking for some confidence...

Tiffany has just answered the perplexing question of how to administer anxiety to a Dustdevil.

[Relish]

Simply, there is alot going on, it will take time to get used to it. When I worked in the ER, I thought i already had a tough skin for blood and weird situations. Turns out I didn't! I didn't pass out, but thought I was going to when I watched the doctor inserting a chest tube..(you have to rip the muscle, not cut it, so he was knuckle deep in this kids chest wrenching around like crazy.) Some things will get to you, others won't, it's only natural.

As for the anxiety that has continued, as was mentioned, it becomes self-fulfilling , if you continue to tell yourself "don't pass out, don't pass out...."you will essentially...pass out! Yes, focus on the situation and on the patients condition, not your own, then you can't get all wrapped up in your own feelings.

I hope it gets better for you!
