I am terrified of the doctor?!
Question:
I am terrified of the doctor?
i am absolutely terrified of the doctor. i avoid the doctor at all costs, even if i really need to go. the only time i go to the doctor is when i am forced to. i don't play sports in school (even the ones i really love) because i don't want to go get a physical. when i find out i have to go to the doctor, i have panic attacks, hyperventilate, cry, pass out, i have run out of the doctors office before, my blood pressure sky rockets. i don't like being afraid of the doctor, how can i get around this?
Answers:
Wow...I was gonna say out of habit to see a doctor about it...but you seem to be super uncomfortable with your body, or others looking or touching it. And that's pretty normal. I avoid it too, but I'm male...and men are notorious for avoiding the doctor.
Perhaps you should see a Psychiatrist. Still a doctor...but all you have to do there, is talk. Seek someone who specializes in phobias.
