I am so scared about going to the doctor.?!


Question: I am so scared about going to the doctor!.!?
It's not really going to the doctor that scares me--it's being a room by myself with a doctor that creates so much anxiety within me!. I don't have any friends or anyone that would go with me!. How can I just get over it!? I have tried but I can't!. I am really panicky about this issue!. I am 25 btwWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It is called Latrophobia; a fear of going to the doctor!. Tell your doctor you have Latrophobia, it will go a long way to diffusing your anxiety as he is trained in dealing with exactly that!!. It is not that uncommon, tell him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My husband suffered from panic attacks brought on by doctor visits!. I finally made him go to a psychologist who does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)!.

The shrink acts as a coach during this therapy!. It isn't the kind of therapy where you just talk!. After explaining how the human body reacts to fear, he started my husband on a set of exercises where he gradually got closer and closer to his fear!. It was hard work, but it fixed the problem!. My husband is no longer panicked by the idea of doctors!. He was 60 when he finally got it fixed!.

You aren't the only one!. You aren't the first one!. Lots of people have fears they feel they can't control!. If you can find a psychologist who knows how to do CBT, you can get over it!. There is a lot about it on the internet and in books too!.

Before the therapy, my husband required drugs to see doctors!. He used xanax!. Of course, you have to go to a doctor to get it, hmm!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just do it!. I have OCD where I make everything out to be worse than it really is!. Your mind creates a "worst case scenario" and tries to paint the worst picture possible when it's really not that bad!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Role play with a friend or family member being in the doctor's office and how you usually feel and changing your feeling!. I always take a book with me where ever I go because I'm not too good with waiting!. With a book, I'm not bothered!. That is how I cope!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
