I’m due to have some routine surgery soon for an infected toe but I can’t face it.
I’m convinced I won’t come round from the anaesthetic.
DEIDRE SAYS: This must be so distressing.
I wonder what triggered your fear of dying.
Did you lose someone close to you when you were younger?
My support pack Coping With Panic Attacks, Fears & Phobias will be helpful.
