You are getting some incredible advice from the vets.
If your anxiety is through the roof, that is a signal to STOP and do nothing until your anxiety abates. Anxiety will make your monkey brain bounce around out of control.
As LH19 said, anxiety has never killed anyone.
These situations can feel like worst-case scenarios if you have anxiety issues. Anxiety can not only block you from a chance of fixing your MR, it can block you from enjoying a healthy happy life. Focus on the latter part. Does it feel good to be super anxious? I lost 20 pounds from my anxiety when things fell apart. It did not feel good.
What helped me most is understanding that my brain was telling me the only way to reduce my anxiety was to fix my MR. I felt powerless, my happiness completely dependent on another person. Don’t listen to your monkey brain. You are a worthwhile person and you deserve happiness.
