Hi, i have been suffering for years since i was 15,, i never told anyone in my family,, i was a master out of hiding it,,By the time I was in my late 20s it hit hard it made me unable to leave te house at times,, also, i finally went to a doctor, He put me on Zanax because I also had insommnia and i stopped caffine soda,, those were the best 5 years of my life, I was what I though ME ,,,,should be,, than I got lost my health insurance and Had to stop going because I just couldnt afford it anymore,,Its been a major struggle hiding iot froom jobs and familyI Think I have had such a hard time trying to set up a appointment with a new doctor I have some money squirred away for this but, Im so scared to have to meet a new doctor and have to talk to a stranger all over again,, Im having panic attacks about going to the psycatrist and keep putting it off,, anyone else ever go thru this?????,, in my head I know this will help me and I can be everything Im not know, but, im so scared about dealing with a doctor again!
 
littlebunny,

If you can focus on that doctors visit as the step towarRAB feeling much better, you can do it! When the anxiety lifts away it is such a relief...

I would also encourage you to share this with your parents at some point. As a parent myself, I always remind my children that they can always come to me for anything, I would not want my sons to be suffering like your are. Having loving support is a wonderful help with issues just like this.
 
Your health is the most important thing. I have anxiety as well, it is very common, just remeraber your not alone and most Dr.s are helpful, at least mine was very helpful. I am on medication myself and it is very affordable. Wallmart $4.00 a month!!

Don't worry about what other people think, take care of you!!
 
You need to realize doctors are THERE for you when something is wrong. That's what they do, and you need to start realizing that there's no need to be afraid. The most satisfying thing about their job is to see their patients get better... The most satisfying thing to you would to be get better. Just tell yourself that they're there for you.
