Edit: Im asking because I'm currently going through some serious depression and I've been forgetting stuff lately. I wake up every morning with a panic attack, I am too tired to do anything. I barely had any appetite to eat. I just wanted to see if I'm the only one. Hearing stories from others makes me feel less alone.

Sorry if I sound pathetic af, I'm just sad

Edit 2: I'm gonna mark this as NSFW because the potential very traumatic stuff.

I had to have surgery on my wrist at the start of the year. Got a metal plate and 7 screws in there now. I was nervous as hell but once you’re in there, it’s a breeze. You realize that the tech and science there is always moving forward and surgery is so much less invasive now. I like to ask questions about things and try to chat with the nurses and other team members a bit as a distraction if needed. The surgery was 2 hours long and I was able to go home once the sedative wore off.
