Greetings! I have a lot going on and have never really had anxiety much, but I think that's what this is. If so, any coping advice? Long story short:

-Dr. think's I have cancer and am going in for a second round of testing on Tuesday. I won't get the final diagnosis until the following week.

-During that week, my bf's son, who I didn't find out about until we were together for 5 months, is staying with us. I am not thrilled because I don't date guys with kids. I decided to give the relationship a go because he's the perfect bf except that one kiddo thing.

-I am experiencing such anxiety about spending time with this kiddo.

Behaviors I am exhibiting:

-Shortness of breath when I think about the kid being here or my dr. results.

-Crying for no apparent reason

-Having little interest in things I usually enjoy. I am having to force myself to knit or cook.

-I want to sit in my living room with curtains drawn and stare at the wall because nothing is happening and it makes me feel safe.

-Wanting little to do with my bf or little dog.

Coping Mechanisms I am currently employing to keep me from being a tearful blob on the floor:

-Going to my happy place

-Reasoning to myself

-Putting feelings of anxiety in bubbles and sending them away.

-Turning negative thoughts into positive ones.

-Meditation

-Sugar free Popcicles

Any advice on how to deal with what I think is anxiety?
