Oh sweet girl. It can be hard to get over these fears after having a major operation or medical problem. I wish that I could start a group with you! I had surgery years ago, but I still remember those fears! I hope that you find some people to love on you and talk these thoughts through with. Take care, my friend!
These are all 100% rational!
Although, that just came from a girl who spent 30 minutes explaining to her boyfriend’s entire family how she doesn’t like flying, especially landing because she is afraid the plane will roll until it bursts in to flames.
Of course, that wasn’t me…
