Thank you so much for this! Even after 2 hospital births, my husband’s cancer journey and multiple dental visits, the medical setting still gives me major anxiety.

Thank you for making this video, the day after tomorrow I have a dilated pupils eye exam that would make my vision blurry and that means that I can't do it alone. The problem is that I don't have anybody to come with me except for my nnarcissitic abusive mother, it scares me not being able to see well and depend on her. Also my doctor is worried about my condition so I'm afraid of what she may found
