Had an MRI done today. I’d been avoiding it because I’m claustrophobic.

3 breakdowns:

- when I saw the head coil/cage
- over the headphones (I preferred none but unfortunately not an option)
- anxiety attack mid scan because I couldn’t swallow my saliva from hyping myself

Kudos to people who don’t flinch when they get this done. This was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to endure in a conscious state. I had two incredible nurses who decided one would just stay with me in the scan room and hold my hand - yep, hold my hand the entire time. 🫠
