For dental procedures go somewhere that does the laughing gas thing, that stuff is pure gold when it comes to keeping you calm or at least it is for me. For other procedures that aren’t done under general anesthesia make sure you eat and drink well that day and tell the doc you are extremely anxious, any good doctor should be open to prescribing you a valium or something similar to take prior to the procedure.

First, tell the nurse/doc ahead of time that you are nervous. . You can also ask any questions at this time. A good doc/nurse will tell you all about what their doing so you will know what to expect

Look up breathing exercises that trigger the "relaxation response", which can help knock down that adrenaline.

Also remember that it is your body; you have the right to stop the procedure at any time.

Good luck.

Eloping is a stress free and as cheap as you want to make it way to tie the knot. Our 'wedding' cost like £400 in total and made life a ton easier when it comes to visas etc (have a tendency to move around a lot).

The thought of a big wedding terrified the both of us 😂

I tell them I want to take it for a test drive and have it inspected by my mechanic. They should not have a problem with this as they will have a copy of your driver's license in the event anything is damaged. If they refuse, I tell them I must be allowed to do this to ensure there's not any defects in the vehicle or I'll purchase from another location. Never had an issue with that. I've had multiple cars with cracked engines, bad transmissions and almost completely failing ball bearings. the $20 inspection is nothing compared to the costs for those repairs.

Lmao. My husband and I spent 100 bucks on a marriage license and now we are legally considered family for medical/ insurance purposes. If we plan to live together long term, why wouldn't we do that? We get to file our taxes jointly and when one of us is in the hospital, the other has the right to visit or even to make decisions if necessary.

We don't even slightly want kids.

What's this about spending a lot of money to prove something?
