Love letter

Dear scanxiety,

I know you want to have another slumber party tonight but I'm tired. I would really like to get some sleep so that I can function better tomorrow. Emotions feel so much more raw when I'm tired and anxious. And I'd prefer to not cry in the bathroom again tomorrow. The scan will come and go in the morning and I will do my best to be at peace with the results.

I know that you might be "winning" as I lay here awake at 1 a.m. but don't take too much satisfaction in this victory. With each passing hour that we spend together, I am learning your tricks. Get me to worry about things out of my control. Okay fine, small win for you.
 
I'm going to turn you off though and now that we've had this little chat and I've said my piece, I'm going to peacefully drift off to sleep...

You'll have to read yourself a bedtime story. Di out.
