I'll take an anxiety attack over cirrhosis of the liver any day. Seriously, think of the first few days as a long car drive to the beach, say 8 hours. The first couple of hours are fine, then after hour 5 you start to feel the symptoms of uncomfortable boredom, you want to get out, are hungry, tired, etc. But you still keep thinking about the beautiful beach, it keeps you going. Eventually after an excruciating 8 hour drive, you get there. I know it's a simple analogy. But think of your destination. Hold fast. It's painful and very scary, but you can make it.
