I hate going to the doctors

I even hate phoning to make the appointment. I feel like I'm being a nuisance and I know that's silly coz the doctor is there to help me. I start getting anxious the day before I make the appointment. Then I'm all hot and sweaty by the time I hang up the phone after doing it. It's also worse if I have to go alone because I'm extra anxious. I get a taxi coz my social anxiety struggles with buses. I struggle to remember everything I want to ask the doctor even though I've rehearsed it countless times the day before. Then when I get home I have a complete meltdown with a panic attack coz my brains on overload. I have an appointment today but luckily my boyfriend has one too. It's a relief that we can go together but I'm still way too anxious.

Thats when you need a pad.. wright down all your questions when you are thinking of them and take it into the Doctor when you go.. No need to remember them when you are stressed at the doctors..

@Adstar I've tried that but often forget I've got it as I'm so stressed.

@jshm2 there are things they don't sell like antibiotics.
I sometimes get to the day of the appointment and then call and cancel. I am not scared but embarrassed
