I have like 3 doctor appointments and dentist and I m so anxious about it I want to go to find out what’s wrong with some symptoms I have at the same time I don’t want to go because I m scared of bad news I feel like I can’t handle bad news
Personally when I have medical appointments I prepare in advance to a reasonable degree. I figure the purpose of the visits is receiving guidance, exam or advice. I make a short list of my top 3 priorities to have addressed during the visit. More than that the medical personnel normally don’t respond to well .
@777Q Yes I m getting prepare for it thank you for the advice
Typo that should be too
Never, ever, ever, allow doctor appointments (or any appointments) stack up back to back like that. It’s too stressful. I understand that you want to get them all over with, but I try to space stuff out at least 3-4 months apart.
@SomaticSun🌤️ Yes I understand they kept rescheduling my appointments now they are all close together
What if my fears come on things like health isuess, like paranoia, to face my fear is to go test Everytime which is alot,and even tho I know sometimes am okay I still go with the idea uncontrollably, kindly advise
Also I’m very scared to do try the initial therapist call cause I’m scared to hear something I don’t want to hear
I know the way to overcome avoidance is in action but gosh. I just can't do anything. I'll try to collect in my wins and make at least one phone call today. It's important - dentist first? I'm incredibly fearful of the dentist and intensely don't wish to go. I also need to establish a new relationship with a doctor. Maybe I'll f* around and make 2 phone calls today. Not asking for reassurance but please wish me luck
