Is anyone else scared to the doctor? It's not the doctor that scares me, just the fear that something is really really wrong with me. Like, I need to go and I want to go, but I'm extremely scared to! Does anyone else feel this way?
Hello Sky,
You should not fear the Doctor, they are your best friend on the road to recovery.
If they find a problem they will get it fixed, if there’s no problem then that’s great news. . .
Win - Win

Not a fear of the doctor but definitely intense fear of medical procedures.
Hi
I used to dread going to the doctor, it’s called White Coat Syndrome. I feared the dentist also. My heart rate would escalate. My fear was that I would be diagnosed with something terrible, even from the dentist. I would imagine all sorts of horrid illnesses. I still hate going but I calm myself now because I have learned that anxiety messes with your head and puts all these horrible thoughts there. It can consume you if you let it. The way I see it now is if I go then I am going to get help, if I put it off then I am only going to make myself worse by letting it fester.
