> SlabickiI don't know why we can have so much anxiety about a short dose of anesthesia when we know it is helpful. I don't care so much that they are shocking my brain - it needs to be shocked! Like you, it's the anesthesia & the oxygen.
We go to sleep every night into a different state of consciousness. I don't know why it freaks me out so much to go into a different state of consiousness with anesthesia. Even though I've done it before and had no negative effects from it. But the anxiety was extremely amplified when I was already suffering from anxiety.
