Hey there,
I'm sorry to hear of your fears!. I can't say i have them because i have a good relationship with my doctor but i can understand why you may feel that way!. There is probably plenty of people afraid of going to the doctor's, usually the fear of it, is worse than the actual action!. I know if i say there;s nothing to fear it won't change your mind so i will give a few suggestions that may help- take someone in with you that you trust, you don't have to go in alone, having someone there might make you feel better!. Write down how you are feeling and about your phobia and perhaps hand it to the doctor when you are there for them to read!. Remeber they cannot do anything without your say so!. Could you possibily get a phone appointment with a doctor, that way you can speak to them from home, possibily if you do this and get to know that doctor you will feel more settled about going in!? write down your fears about the doctor and for each fear try to think of a more rational or positive side to it to try and make you feel better!.
I hope you manage to get to talk to a doctor about your problems, as other people have said they are there to help, not to harm or do anything scary!.
best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I understand, I was pertrified when I first went to see a shrink at 13 for perfectionism; I was so afraid I cried the whole time!. At 16, even though I was absolutely terrified to do so, I told my parents about my self-injury and asked to go to a doc!. It does take a lot of courage, and you're not the only one who's scared!. I was afraid people would find out (I am a "genius" at school, looked up to by many, not popular, but well-known!. If anyone found out I was going, I felt I would lose my status!.) Go to someone who you feel comfortable with!. Are you also maybe afraid that they will give you drugs that could have bad effects!? See a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, as psychologists cannot prescribe drugs!. I was afraid that if given drugs, I would become a zombie, or the drugs would interfere with my intellectual functioning (like in "A Beautiful Mind,") and if I couldn't be smart, I would lose everything!. Fortunately I was never prescribed drugs!. Confidentiality agreements are very strict; therefore do not worry about anyone finding out!. These doctors chose their career because they want to help people, and that's what they'll do for you!. But it's normal to be afraid at first!. You're not a freak :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I used to be absolutely mortified of the doctor's office!. I was totally convinced that if I went in, they would discover just how deep my depression was and that I had been self-injuring, and would thus lock me up in a mental hospital!. I was also terrified that they would put me on antidepressant pills, which I hated, because I thought having more pills in the house would only make it easier for me to carry out my suicide attempt (and it did)!. The fact that I was physically forced to go didn't make it any easier!.
But once I started seeing a psychologist, whom I came to trust, she convinced me that the doctors would not hurt me!. She promised me that there was no way that they would hurt me, and if I were honest with them, they could help me not hurt myself!. So I trusted her on that, and slowly got better!.
The short of it is that you should go, even though it is terrifying!. It really is for the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
