One thing I'm gonna throw out there (as someone with anxiety) that might help.

It's really okay to listen to the rational part of your brain and get the shot EVEN if you can't convince the anxious part of your brain. Even if there's a big part of your brain that spends all the time from now until the shot worried about it, plus another week after for good measure. Even if that anxious part of your brain spends your whole vaccine appointment screaming RUN GET OUT OF HERE. That's fine. What's important is that you get the shot, not that you solve every question and calm your anxiety and feel good about it. Let your rational brain schedule your appointment and get your butt there, and if the irrational side wants to scream and shout, so be it. Call that a compromise. [/quote]
