Am I the only one who freaks out every time they have to go to the Doctor?
Ever since I could remember, I despised going to the Doctor because I was always afraid that they were going to tell me that I was going to die right then and there. My “fear” was always dismissed as me being a “scaredy cat” but as I’ve gotten older and especially most recently, a NP said, “I think you have White Coat Syndrome.” This has opened up a new can of Anxiety worms as I have had to figure out a way to ease my Doctor anxiety and for me to accept that I am probably okay, and it’s just my head messing with me.
Take a listen as I talk about my personal experience of Health Anxiety and where I believe it all stems from.
