Sometimes it’s that way and sometimes my body won’t let me go

Dreaming84😥 I've been there too...why can't our bodies just act right?? Lol

I have that problem. I get so nervous that it will go wrong. Or I have to make a appointment about a problem I see and I feel like they won't see anything wrong

I am that way sometimes but then I think I make myself more sick with worry and reschedule the appointment and eventually go to it.

I always thought it was a mild form of agoraphobia because it isn't just doctors but all appointments and phone calls.

Crazyc1979 because that’s would be too easy !!

Lilypod21 same here!

SapphireSparrow maybe so! I never thought about that but I'm the same way...not just doc appt but even meeting with friends!! (Probably why I don't have any)

Same!

Crazyc1979 growing up it was like that. And then it changed last year in May. So I get that feeling every appointment.

I actually brought it this up with my therapist once. He said that’s his job, and I shouldn’t feel like I’m bothering him when I mention what bothers me (as long as it’s part of the therapy time of course). That really made me feel better

Same I smoke and use essential oils in addition to my meds but also just anxiety I'm general with slot of things

I don't feel like I'm bothering them, but making appointments does make me anxious. I don't love calling to them, and I guess they kinda feel like a lot of obligation. Instead of thinking about appointments as bothering them you might think about an appointment as keeping your doctor employed. If no one made appointments then they wouldn't have a job. Almost nobody becomes a doctor without really wanting to become a doctor, so not only are you giving them paid work, but it's work that they want to do and probably find to be really fulfilling.
